Hi Edward, yep I'm going by this plate and a few online searches also in another forum I chat to a few reinactors taht were from the KGL regiment that was at 2015 Waterloo show, I try to keep them uniform but with a little bit of variety. OC.

Dont know if this will help much Kevin, its from Pembroke in Wales I took the photo - it shows the town fortification wall that extended out from the castle and wrapped around the town giving the people some defence. OC.

Would the waterway be fortified I wonder? how about some ramparts? I would imagine most castles and fortified areas close to the castle would be so, infact I have seen that myself on some of our old hols. OC.

Evening all, abit more progress with the lads, I did my normal shading on the faces and hands - basically just using the wash from a brush and runing it over so it settles in the details (between the fingers - side of nose - frown lines - around mouth) then it was time to paint the trousers in thier London Grey, I finished off tonights painting by painting wood parts of the rifles -delicate work - next off will be the metal parts including the bayonets. OC.

Thank you kindly Edward, these Five are the Victrix ones - I have both types - there are subtle differences between them like the victrix ones have full backs with straps, the perry ones have cut outs on the backs to take the back packs, so by mixing them I can show some wearing the backpacks and some without. OC.
