More 40mm Napoleonic Peninsular 60th Rifles

I have made a bit more progress with this side project, giving myself a break from all of that painting for India which I will no doubt return to shortly.

If anything I am happier with this second batch than the first and enjoying my painting.

You can see I have picked up a couple of extra figures so its not all standing and kneeling firing and the spread of trouser colours is a little broader. Still need a few more to mix in.

This loading chap is very nice and one of the extra figures I picked up, I particularly like this brown/grey colour. Grey was common for these troops I understand so a variety of shades should look good.

Rifleman Harris, listed by Perrys as the company cobbler, this pack makes for an interesting addition with the boots and cooking pot. I have stuck with the traditional blue/grey for this figure.

For the bugler I am back to the brown/grey works really well this one I think, best not to over use it though?

I still have lots of standing firing to do, this one has got more standard mid grey trousers, look good I think.

Lastly the officer, I wasn't keen on this one until I started painting it then fell in love with it a bit. I have given him leather lined green French Dragoon overalls, robbed from a dead Frenchman no doubt, much like Sharpe. A lovely leader for my rifles.

I am already on with the next couple which will give me two units of 6 and a leader for each. 

Happy with that progress, I really must do some French and Spanish too!
