Lace 'n Big Hats

Lace 'n Big Hats is a diary of my lead adventures. The title comes from a remark of Martin Rapier, a member of TMP. Lace 'n Big Hats aggregates historical periods such as the Lace wars, Seven years war, Napoleonic Wars etc, which had this elaborate dress as one common factor. I like the phrase so much I am thinking of using it as a name for a rule set I am working on. My historical interests are actually a bit broader, so I will be throwing in bits and pieces from WW2 and even the Modern era.

28mm Napoleonic Russian Ural Cossacks

These 28mm Napoleonic Russian Ural Cossacks are from Elite miniatures. When I couldn't find Cossacks in these uniforms I contacted Peter Morby who kindly supplied me with the plate he based the uniform on. Contacting the designer can be handy when you don't know how to paint something!

They are a nice irregular unit to break up the solid blue of my Don Cossacks.
