The Sun Never Sets - 15mm figures for warfare around the British Empire - The British Part 2

 In continuing the British for "The Sun Never Sets" line, I thought I would showcase the Infantry. While there is a wide variety of uniforms for British foot soldiers, most can be accomplished by a "paint conversion". Here are some examples:



Regular Infantry - The first picture shows mounted infantry officers, drummers, and standard bearers for a typical infantry unit. The second picture is of two poses of other ranks and an officer on foot.



Royal Marines - The same pose (sans bayonet on the firing figures) with a different foot officer pose.



Rifle Regiment - Again, the same pose for the OR's and yet another foot officer pose.



Naval Brigade - Not everyone in H.M.s armed forces cut their cloth the same way. Here is the Naval Brigade in the sailor suit; typical of the era. They also have their own officer on foot.




Highland Infantry - What line of British soldiers would be complete without Highlanders. In the first picture is the command, with an officer on foot, a piper, and standard bearer. The second and third photos show the "other ranks (two poses), and the same foot officer.



Regular Infantry in Khaki- The Khaki uniform actually has slight modelling variations compared to the typical uniform shown above. Hardly noticeable are the puttees around the calves of the other ranks. More noticeable is the puggaree around the helmet.
