More loveliness from Elite miniatures. The trumpeters are particularly nice. The regiment actually had a single squadron of lancers and three armed with swords. I've done them with two squadrons of lancers for visual appeal.
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 Spanish Line infantry and Foreign Regiment Irlanda
28mm Napoleonic Spanish line infantry and Irlanda foreign regiment. The figures are from Elite miniatures except for the flautists and sappers,which are from Front Rank.
The first and second battalions of the Irlanda Foreign Regiment
The designs painted on Grenadier's hat "bags" is a nice feature. Only first battalions have grenadiers. It just so happens I've done mainly the first battalions in this batch.
There are ten other battalions so far. I think I have 40 to do in total. There are also 4 battalions of Guerillas.

28mm Napoleonic Dutchy of Warsaw line infantry (Old Glory miniatures)
28mm Napoleonic Dutchy of Warsaw line infantry. The mounted officers are from Front Rank but the rest are from Old Glory miniatures - who do just about everything.
I love the OG figures for their animation.You can see some of them gritting their teeth in a battle cry.
