I recently purchased some Minifig Boxer rebellion U.S. Marines that I plan to use for Portuguese Colonial troops. These figures fit well with my existing British colonial collection (over 500 Zulus and all). It was a great find on EBay where they were incorrectly identified as British. There are enough figures for a full TSATF company with artillery support and even a few figures left over for a command unit for a native company. A hand full (6) of RalPartha mounted British will round out the force. In my research, I found the following great sources that I would like to share: link link Based on the research (and my own preference) I plan on White pants and blue tunics. While all white may be more correct, it is also more boring. Anyone else doing Portuguese colonial? Thanks, Vince |

Just starting Portuguese colonials during the 14th-16th centuries using Eureka figures. |

I started my own Portuguese colonials because they were different, and yet a significant player in Africa; haven't done much with them since, but with a little motivation, that could easily change! :-) |

Interestingly enough, I also got started with Eureka figures, but in my case, it was the Cold War collection. It's amazing how one pack of figures can start so much. |
