For those of you who remember my previous posts, it will already be clear what I am trying to achieve. For anyone who didn't see it then there is a brief explanation on my newly formed (and first) blog. link The purpose of this post is to jest let you know that I have taken a brief look at the new Warlord Portuguese for my 3rd brigade and have posted some pictures and an overview here. link Painting tutorials to come! |

Great!
I too have Pictons 3rd in 28mm.. Though I never got round to the Portuguese.
(I re enacted in the 45th)
I'm also doing the fighting 3rd in 6mm now… Look forward to seeing the Rangers, Highlanders and Hosiers when you've painted them. |

Happy Birthday, enjoy the figures. I have the 3rd using AB Miniatures. I did my Scots in trousers rather than highland dress. |

That's true enough. 74th hadn't worn kilts in years…. |

They hadn't worn them through out India either where it spent it's first 15 years Trousers and round hats. It only adopted the kilt in 1806… Abandoning it in 1809 as an impediment to recruitment. |

It's a matter of emphasis, I guess. The regulation dress of the 74th remained Highland until required by Horse Guards to surrender their Highland status in 1809 in order to draw on a wider recruiting base, as you say. The Regiment spent the next 35 years trying to regain Highland status, which they obtained in 1844. The tropical service clothing for service in India was just that, although that service was prolonged. Sorry this isn't a bigger image of Haswell Miller's painting commissioned by the HLI.
