The body is just a plain green one, the jack is made with thick paper (slightly thinner than cardboard). I used my warhammer paint for the colouring. I'm thinking about using the same paper to for making the British flags for the units, it's either that or plasticised paper.

be my guest :P
in other news: a 2nd edit. I painted the coat for a Green jack. I used the drawing on wikipedia as an example and I'm pretty satisfied with the result. Also made the "feather" on the shako green. :)

@ bragallot: I was planning on bayonets, but it's hard to find a good idea that doesn't use custom bricks or glue for that matter. So at the moment it's just not WYSIWYG yet.

New pictures in the first post (EDIT) thought it would be easier if al pictures were just in one post. Well, you can see I got a new artillery piece.

And another hint: you won't want as many of the same unit as this. The most I'll ever have of the same unit type, is 12, even if they're all called 'infantry' they're still different-looking, and also stat - and ability-wise.
