British 3rd Battalion 1st Infantry Regiment

 Another British Napoleonic unit rolls off the painting desk. The 3rd Battalion 1st Infantry Regiment.

In a stunning turn around from painting the unit and then shoving any random flag on them, this time I chose the unit based on the Pendraken flags I purchased, meaning they have the correct facings, plume, and uniform*. Another step further into the morass of Napoleonic Nerdery.

* assuming the website I looked at is accurate (of course it is, you are not allowed to put anything wrong on the internet!!)

Here they are:

The thin red line about to fire a broadside.... no that's the navy.. fire a volley at those damn French

A rear view.

So one week and one unit done, maybe completing them by Christmas is possible. 😂

Only 8 units to go in 11 weeks!  

List of figures and units.  All Pendraken figures, as are the flags.
