Hi, I was wondering if anybody has the instructions for this figure? I just bought it but there are no instructions with it.. A photo would be great. Thanks!

Thanks a lot Carl - I think Grieve kits came with printed instructions though

Hi Edward, have you try contacting Bonapartes . www.bonapartesmilitarymodels.co.uk. They show on their webpage that they have this kit, maybe they could help you.

Hi Kevin, I bought the kit from Bonapartes. They had to cast a new figure - there were no instructions

Hi Edward,
You can paint him in whatever combination you fancy. All blue, all white or a combination as per Carl's link or the reverse. Gaiter's were tanned canvas, belt, rifle sling and pouches brown leather. Light blue silk, straw sennet hat with black silk band (could be monogrammed with ship name), white bread bag. Not too much more to add.
cheers

Thanks a lot guys! This is all very helpful. Grieve kits came with quite detailed instructions with illustrations - was just hoping to see a copy.

I’m sorry I did not see this thread before. Hope it is still of some help

That's great Luis - thanks so much for taking the time to post the pics. This will be very useful!

Happy to help. Oddly enough, I no longer have the figure (I guess it wast lost in one of my house moves), but I still keep the instructions sheet.
