Nice figures, but they look more like British infantry. In fact they look like the 28th Foot at Waterloo with their stove pipe shakos and unique badge. |

How I would love to see these in The One True Scale, but again 1/72 shows how superior it can be in portraying anatomically correctly proportioned human beings, not Hobbits. How you could tell Portuguese from British/KGL before painting is beyond my knowledge. Inevitably a similarity in kit supply! For 28th Foot front badge looks fine, but I cannot see one on reverse (hardly a challenging project tho') So I think 28th Foot yes, but not 28 scale alas! |

Well… You can see lacing around the buttons on the coatee and on the cuffs. Also the epaulettes are a different design. |

Glad you like them my friend!. (smile)

Thanks for posting Armand, these look great and are right up my alley. Thanks to Hagen Miniatures as they continue to offer superb metal 20mm Napoleonics……………… |

Agree with Artilleryman wrong uniform for Portuguese Line.
Nice looking figures though. |

Well I know absolutely nothing about the Portuguese but thought I would try to marry up that nationality with a stovepipe shako and laced cuffs and jeckets………I cannot indeed Cacadores! . Oh, but plain cuff and pointed. Loyal Lusitanians…same problem. These will do really well as 28th of Foot then. The shako plate is so unusual and distinctive, that cannot be just chance. Could the makers have confused their photos? |

Happy you like them too boys!. (smile)

Go on, admit it. This is a cut and paste thing you (or your PC automatically) does, to shove it back to the top! You must change the phrasing…… Same every time…… But you do find some gems, how ever hard a time we give you (grin) |

No true my good friend… from day one I always thanks for those who like any thread… not more than twice in ocations… and this is not cut and paste… It is a registered trademark now… (smile).

These figures are being marketed as both British and Portuguese; they'll go into my collection as British figures. Again, I'm glad to see them, they look terrific. |
| deadhead | 22 Oct 2016 10:21 a.m. PST |
Now that makes Artilleryman's point. Well spotted! He is right about the shako decoration. Brilliant for 28th…not sure how widely applicable though. Most seemed to have some style of single large plate? |

Hi guys, yesterday I got the sample castings and wanted to put the figures in the shop. My first thought was "what they look like British". Checking my blog I saw that I used the wrong photos… Must have been a heavy week at work! Now look at the link again link THAT look much more like Portuguese.
But the discussion shows me what people think about it. Usually there are not much comments on the blog:-) cheers

Now they look right. Does it not show that we do have the experts' knowledge here? and that folk notice excellent work. If only you guys did not all work in 1/72……… |
| Gazzola | 23 Oct 2016 7:34 a.m. PST |
Phew! Glad I paint in 6mm scale now. LOL Nice looking miniatures though. |

Hi Deadhead, thanks for the "expert's knowledge":-) Uniform research is my other big hobby. cheers
