I'm adding 9 more X-Force figures to my War of 1812 British forces. With X-Force sets getting hard to get because of the illness of the owner I picked up sets that I could including Royal Navy and Royal Marines. The basic figures are OK but you should remove the King's ciphers from the cartridge boxes and knapsack for the unit I chose, the 43rd Regiment of Foot. They were at New Orleans. The Brown Bess muskets have no slings, so I made some. I should have removed half of the cuff buttons as there are too many going round the cuffs.
Here a few images of the 43rd.
