2nd Rocket (Whinyates') Troop

Post by Ratch »

These are HäT 8003 Napoleonic British Rocket Troops, supplemented with two figures from Esci 233 Napoleonic British Artillery and some Trotter knapsacks from Revell's 02577 Napoleonic British Foot Artillery.

I used the Airfix RHA mounted officer as well as additional foot figures by Esci and HäT.

Fantastic work here Ratch. I would imagine the armies you have created are now of considerable size and ought to go campaigning soon.

On similar lines with figures and pieces taken from various sources; mainly HäT, but also Airfix, Esci and Revell

The wagon issued in the HäT 8003 set was drawn by a team of four and a limber, this one taken from Revell's 02577 set
