Portuguese lineman
Here's a Foundry old school Napoleonic Portuguese lineman. Whew, that was a mouthful... these are old Perry models.
|
|
Portuguese lineman
Finding painting reference for these less common armies proved to be a pain.
|
|
Portuguese lineman
I think the backpack is actually the later box type, which were black.
|
|
Portuguese lineman
No, I didn't paint the regiment number on the cartridge box, but this is the 21st regiment. I chose that regiment because it was simplest to paint -- all the accent colors are the same...

The obligatory overhead view.

I made the bases match my cazadores.
|

I like these more dynamic better than the classic shoulder march ones.
|
|
Portuguese
A few of the figures are missing bayonets, making the muskets look almost carbine like.
|
|
Portuguese
I thought I'd selected simple uniforms, but there's still plenty of detail on these.
|
|
Portuguese
Backside view. The vast majority of the painting time is spent on the little details.
|
|
Portuguese
Row upon row of backpacks.
|
|
Portuguese
I still have no idea how I'm going to split this into units.
|
|
Portuguese
I should get some officers at the very least, and some cavalry and artillery, but right now I don't feel like painting any more cordage...
