The completion of the 2nd battalion, 16th Portuguese Infantry sees all four battalions of Portuguese infantry present at Oporto done.
The information about the regiment can be seen on my previous post about the 1st battalion.
The 2nd battalion on the right is seen pictured with the white Regimental Colour.
All figures are from the AB range with the colours from GMB Flags.
There are now only two units remaining before I can bring the Oporto scenario to the table, namely the 14th Light Dragoons and the 1st French Hussars. In addition I am planning to have a purpose built Seminary building and have some houses for the town to finish off.
I am away next week training for a new job and then I am away in Rome on a tour of the classical sights so I will update on progress on the project on my return. Don't be surprised if the odd picture of the Colosseum appears in between time.
Excellent paint job on this Portuguese regiment, love the basement too...
ReplyDeleteCheers Phil. With the Portuguese finished I'm looking forward to getting the last units done.
Deletevery nice!!!
ReplyDeleteCheers Paul, glad you like them
DeleteNice job - what figure did you use for the mounted officer?
ReplyDeleteHi and thank you.
DeleteMy word what a question. I find it difficult to remember what I did ten weeks ago let alone ten years, so my answer comes with all the caveats that challenge implies.
On careful reflection which is why I took a couple of days to answer your query, I reckon I ended up using the AB British Infantry mounted colonel from their 1815 Waterloo period range to get the Belgic/Barretina shako look I was after. That said if push comes to shove you could probably get away with a bicorne look as well, but I seem to remember an Osprey illustration that inspired this particular choice.
I hope that helps
