The figures are from Perry miniatures. You need to buy a couple of boxes to make up a regiment.
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.

15mm Napoleonic British and French infantry (Blue Moon miniatures)
I have painted some of the lovely figures from Blue Moon miniatures. They are compatible with AB, size and style wise.

The mounted figures are the French 20th Dragoons (Perry miniatures).
Here are the 16th Dragoons. These figures are from Connoisseur miniatures, who brought out skirmishing Dragoons several decades ahead of everyone else.

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.

6mm Napoleonic French "Animated" French line infantry
Baccus miniatures make these. I painted them up with highlights, which I don't normally bother with for 6mm.

28mm Napoleonic French Line infantry in Campaign Dress
These are Front Rank figures. There is a lot of variety in their range, which makes for interesting units.

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."

6mm Napoleonic British and French
Here are some British and French Napoleonic Baccus miniatures which I've finished. They are in 6mm. For people with limited space the scale can allow them to put on big battles.

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!
