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 Connoisseur miniatures French line and light painted as Würzburg, Croatians, and French

I love Connoisseur figures. They are beautiful classics which bring me back to "Big battalion" games at the Wargames Holiday Centre. The late, great, Peter Guilder designed these figures. He brought higher standards to the hobby in terms of figures, terrain and rules.

Bicorne miniatures now sell these figures. They are a lot harder to paint than "modern" types. Often you have to paint on details like buttons, or modify figures.

French line infantry (Connoisseur battalions) painted as the Würzburg contingent in the Confederation of the Rhine

These are the Croation 1st and 3rd light infantry. The figures are Connoisseur French light infantry. It is great to paint up French as allies to break up the blue on the table top.
