An excellent point but don't forget to change the shako plate and check for any other places where regimantal numbers might be lurking! I make this comment as I see "44" on the picture.

Cheers

Huw is quite correct about checking breast plates and cap badge designs. But also remember to check the drummer lace placement. Some regiments such as the 16th had lace on the seams, but no chevrons on the sleeves. Check also the color patterns of the lace as they varied from regiment to regiment. Check out British Napoleonic Uniforms by C. E. Frank, a most excellent reference to research the uniforms. Research the regimental design on the drum as well.

This tops the list of my next planned purchases.

Really nice sculpting. Might work my way through all the cryptography regarding what regiment and lacing and stripes and colours and seams and drums and chevrons and regimental numbers and spacing so and...................maybe I'll just spend my time painting instead. G
