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 Prussian 1st Westphalian Regiment Fusilier battalion

These are some of my Calpe figures. So far I've only painted a few units out of 48 (infantry) plus cavalry plus artillery. The figures are based for In The Grand Manner. I made the bases deeper to accommodate the extra length needed for firing lines.

I have done this officer with a grey greatcoat. I'll probably switch him to a reserve unit and take that officer (in a Prussian blue) greatcoat.
