The troops are divided up into the typical categories, but during the aforementioned war the regulars were supplemented by many volunteer and privately raised units and it is amongst these that the uniforms start to become spectacular.
Steve Barber has several figures available in 28mm and others can be found, altered with a deft brush stroke or some fine scalpel or putty work amongst Polish and Prussian Napoleonic ranges. For now however I will be satisfied with the book....
...but that's because I have already something shiny up my sleeve from the 1830's. But that, as they say, is another story!

That’s a lovely looking book Stuart...
I’ve seen some of the illustrations before but never the book...
Where did you get it from?....
Looks like I’m not the only one who has been mucking around in the 1830s... 😁
All the best. Aly
Hi Aly,
I picked it up via amazon, but I think it came from book depository or abebooks. In any case there seems to be a few copies out there.
I recommend it, it's just the sort of thing you'd flutter over 😁
