Hi guys

Nearly finished my first 1/72 Napoleonic unit for the year, I'm concentrating on the Peninsulsr war first, and have started with Portuguese, and specifically Portuguese Cacadors, figures are 3D printed using the Wargames Atlantic set, please note, the set doesn't contain a bugler or rammer/loading option, I came up with those myself.

Half the fun with your postings is to see the units in the background. I expect to see Hungarian Paratroop Pathfinders.

Funny thing about the British water bottle. Even in 1/72 I try to what you show. Stripes on the face as though tongue and groove made up most of the bottle. But we all have that wrong. The bits of wood went around the outer circumference, the face was a plain piece of wood. No stripes.

But what you show (and I still struggle with in 1/72 now) looks far better. So let us not tell anyone else and ask the editor to delete this?

LOL, I've got to remember to let the background troops sneak into the pictures.

Excellent work indeed.

Best wishes,
