Just behind him on his left shoulder (from his point of view) there is a Lamming. They are quite a bit taller, so I have sunk him a bit more into the ground. There are about 12 of them at that end of the square, mixed with the Falcata and NapoleoN, and a few of the larger Italieri.generalpictonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02146792133114092207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8924127993918654016.post-7268390930188014802017-06-25T11:02:41.477-07:002017-06-25T11:02:41.477-07:00I also usually mix figures from as many manufactor...I also usually mix figures from as many manufactors I can.

He has the Blues with buff belts so he must have been aware of the difference. There are also a contemporary print of the 71st Foot with white belts. I can't quite make it out but the picture of the officer shows some figures in the background- do they have white belts?

The photo(s) from above did indeed call to mind stills from the old Plummer-Steiger film Waterloo.
