Indeed Ken, they were rank and file Green jackets as warn by all the British/KGL Riflemen, the only difference is the KGL wore the same grey trousers called London Grey and the 95th worse the same Green trousers as the Jackets, apart from that they are the same - Silver buttons, Black cuffs, and collar stovepipe hats and Green a Green plume on the hats.

Really nice work going on here - with your persistence to create accuracy is lovely to watch. OC.

Also it struck me - they are also missing the Black ruffs that should be on their shoulders - I will try to paint these on with a few thick layers of Black paint. OC.

Evening all, I managed my Three hours on the bench this evening and I have another Six figures plus a dead/wounded KGL ready for primer, the only issue with these new set of figures is the rifles are moulded without straps on any of them and It would be a pain to try to replicate any, so I will just have to assume/pretend use imagination that the infantry have taken the straps off to aid handling of the rifles. They are moulded onto the Two Perry ones though. OC.

Thank you Gary, that is so kind of you to say, I guess its all about practice and then more practice - learning a skill and finding ways to improve, I have found my later figures are better than my first ones for exactly that reason - its an adventure and loving having a controlled element with small painting rather than larger things needing spraying. OC.

Evening all, I have been busy again this evening - I managed another Three hours at the benchy thing, I decided to carry on making more 2nd KGL, I have been working form the box of nearly 30 figures working on the different torso's adding different arm positions and creating some different poses, I am doing one doing a handstand up the wall as he was bored and another doing a jump over a piece of gym equipment (only joking - I'm not that mad - yet), the difficult thing is matting up the correct arm positions to the torso's as there is no number sequence or construction guide - only some box artwork of the completed/painted figures, so to an extent I have to use some heat and glue to get the arm socket positions as they need to be. OC.

Looking forward to your build - I remember being a keen lad getting my dad to help me build my first model ships - sometimes he got a bit to excited and stuck into it - especially with the bigger builds. OC.
