I had these guys for almost as long as I have had my son who is twenty next birthday. They were the first British infantry I ever tried to paint and I gave up after about ten minutes and they have sat in a box semi painted ever since. At the start of the year I decided to knock the bastards off.
Old Connoisseur Miniatures. I know that the fusiliers didn’t wear their bearskins in the Peninsular but twenty years ago I didn’t and nowadays I don’t really care – especially seeing as I have an army that includes the Loamshire Volunteers.
The Woolshed Wargamer 
They look great, Brian. What’s the point of even having a Fusilier regiment in your collection if they don’t wear their bearskins?!

So true. I was hoping to find another manufacturer of fusiliers for this period but couldn’t so stuck with these Connoisseur ones. They don’t look too bad with my hodge-podge army made up of units from different manufacturers.

Most slap dash paint job I have done in ages. Just wanted them over and done with. Actually I have a regiment of French Hussars that has been on the painting table even longer than these guys. Probably 7/10ths done but I just can’t seem to get them finished. This year maybe.
