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 5th Cuirassier (Perry miniatures)

These are Perry miniatures plastics. I painted them as the estimable 5th Cuirassier. They were present at Austerlitz, where they captured a Russian fag. They had Battle Honors for Austerlitz, Wagram and Borodino. They were present at Waterloo - in a uniform like this.
