Liberators! More New Stuff.

Pictured below are some recently finished miniatures, still fresh from the Workbench of Doom. Firstly I've completed and based the Peruvian Legion Light Company:


As I've mentioned previously there is a small amount of imagination involved in their appearance, but having re-read the relevant chapters of William Miller's biography earlier this week I feel a bit more confident given his description of various Napoleonic 'army surplus' being used by the Peruvian military.

Next up is a Royalist Commander for the Dragoons de Peru, apparently a man of taste and breeding having disdained to wear the gaudy pelisse and brass helmet in favour of a more suitable bicorne:



Finally the first Peruvian Hussar de Junin, Colonel William Miller. Here I feel on safer ground as Miller himself reports that the Peruvian Hussars wore uniforms very like those of their British contemporaries. To this end I have used the Perry Miniatures British Hussars plastic boxed set officer to represent him although he may not have sported the Errol Flynn moustache depicted.
