Пиктона не узнает только слепой)))

Шотландец - возможно полковник Мэйкер, командир 42-го "Блэк Вотч".

А красиво получается! Только непонятно, зачем такую солянку делать под одной крышкой?

Row 1
1. William, Prince of Orange (1792-1849) entered the British army in 1811 after his family had been forced to flee their native Holland when the French invaded. He took part in the Peninsular War and also in the Waterloo campaign, where he commanded at both Quatre Bras and Waterloo. He is known to have indicated an advance at Quatre Bras by waving his hat, and this pose closely resembles at least one portrait of him by Nicaise de Keyser depicting that event. The hussar-style uniform also closely follows the portrait, and seems to fit with what is known of his apparel at the time, so this is a good model.
2. Frederick William, Duke of Brunswick (1771-1815) was a relentless opponent of Napoleon and was killed at Quatre Bras leading his Brunswicker troops. On that day his uniform is uncertain but generally thought to be hussar-like in style, with an undress hussar cap on his head, and is usually depicted much as shown on this figure. Strangely he has been given a cane, which would be both pointless while mounted and impede his ability to draw his sword if necessary. Nonetheless another good figure.
3. Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas Picton (1758-1815) had served with distinction for many years, including service in Spain, and came out of retirement to participate in the Waterloo campaign. He famously wore civilian costume throughout the Hundred Days, and was often described with umbrella in hand, hence our identification of this figure. Picton was killed at Waterloo leading the 5th British Infantry Division against d’Erlon’s assault. This figure has authentic gentleman’s attire and the top hat Picton was wearing when he was killed (which still exists today).
4. British Officer. This man is fairly typical of a British infantry officer and is dressed as per regulation. However his sword, which was normally suspended from a belt over the right shoulder, is here hanging from a waistbelt, which merely reflects that some officers wore whatever suited them. This man also has a belt over his left shoulder which carries nothing apart from his whistle and chain. We can find no reference to a crossbelt over the left shoulder (apart from the not always reliable Pericoli book mentioned below) and must wonder what purpose it serves as he has no pouch or other item on it. His jacket is also buttoned up all the way at the front, which was not unheard of but not the norm. We would have much preferred a typical officer rather than this.
5. Highland Officer. Another nice figure, this chap wears breeches and a version of the fly plaid known as the ‘highland scarf’. His sword is suspended from a crossbelt across his right shoulder, as it should be, but sadly this belt disappears at the shoulder and is entirely missing at the back, just like the equally unfortunate officer in the Airfix Highland Infantry set! Also we were surprised to see Hessian boots on this man. Again not impossible but not common and we would have preferred the most typical appearance here.

Row 2
1. Netherlands Officer. This man is mainly clothed in typical officer’s uniform for the Netherlands, although we were surprised that he wears no sash around the waist. Also this man has some sort of cord or chain running from behind his right epaulette to a buttonhole on his jacket. What this is we cannot guess, but it is neither an aiguillette nor a pocketwatch chain.
2. French Officer. This is a great figure and the kind of thing we were expecting throughout the set. He is correctly dressed and includes his gorget.
3. French Officer. Again a very useful and accurate figure. This man has chosen to wear a single-breasted surcoat, which was a common choice at the time.
4. French Imperial Guard Officer. This was a real surprise as the box clearly states the set is line officers. Still the figure is very good and this is the first time such an officer in full uniform has been done.
5. Nassau Jäger Officer. This man wears a shako and uniform of French style, which is correct despite no longer serving with the French at this time. However he too has a belt over his left shoulder that performs no function at all, and some sort of chain around his right shoulder that disappears at the front.

Точно! Отдам сыну и скажу, что в битве при Ватерлоо эти пятеро сражались против этих пятерых. Скажу, что забыл, кто победил, только добавлю, что тот что с зонтиком - точно погиб!
