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.

10e régiment d'infanterie légère & de La Tour d'Auvergne

I used Front Rank figures to represent these two light infantry regiments. You can see how I paint quite clearly on the yellow colpack bags of the skirmishers in the third photo. I use a "feathering" technique to build up highlights where I want them. I paint more of these thin strokes where I want the HL "higher."
