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 French Léger battalions

Here are some French Legere battalions; the Neuchatel Battalion and the 9e léger. I have painted a "skirmisher screen" of Neuchatel Grenadiers for a change. I think I originally bought them because I once saw a plate of a French Léger battalion which had skirmishers in bearskins. I couldn't find it again!
