War of 1812 - British Reinforcements

As I had a few figures left over from the first two battalions of British regulars that I did a few months ago, I recently bought a few more packs of Old Glory Second Edition figures to combine with them and form another two battalions.

So far I have finished off the command element - officer and two ensigns - for each regiment. I decided this time to do the 49th Foot and the 64th Foot

The 49th Foot had green facings and served throughout the war, being present at a number of engagements, including Queenston Heights, Fort George, Stoney Creek, Beaver Dams, Cryslers Farm and Plattsburg. The 64th arrived in 1813 and seems to have had a quieter time, but I chose them as, like the 13th Foot, they seem to have transferred from warmer climes and to have worn a white shako cover, which adds a bit of variety to the force!

The first three images are of the 49th Foot command element, the second three are of the 64th. I did the officers with black shakos but the enlisted men will have the white covers.
