fusiliers in 40mm

i decided that i wanted to try a different scale as i had been collecting 25/28mm figures.I always wanted to paint red coats,but some how ended up doing the ACW,this was because i was smitten by Dixon miniatures,i sent off for their listing and sample figure amongst a few others.Then they brought out their AWI range it just wasn't the same,so i looked to front rank for AWI.I started collecting my first couple of British lines,then there news letter appeared in my mail box.40AWI range,that was it.i was already a fan of alex work and had to send for a sample,ten British lights with multiple heads.not really having a plan of how or what regiment i was going to start with,by the time they arrived i was half way through reading fusiliers.when i decided that was were i was going to start with the 23rd royal fusiliers,i checked out site after site.everyone seemed to be or had painted the 23rd in round hats,slouch or as hat companies.i wanted mine to be different and represent what 23rd was about fusiliers,so with the help of Alex at front rank my lights now wear caps with the prince of wales Crest,i painted their small cloths red,while the officers is white.their caps have a white plume,and their haversacks i painted a dark brown along with a blue circle on the back bear 23rd in roman numerals.i then had to decided how i was going to finish of my 23rd and how many figures i need to make the line look right in the field,i have now received 12fusiliers as follows   2 colour ensign,1drummer,1sergant,and eight fusiliers in bearskin armed with fusil.I dropped two of my lights to give me a line of 20,but they don't look right.so i think that 28 figures should give me the look i need.i have now painted my ensigns and made my own standards,kings colours are 54mm x50mm and regimental colours are 54mm x 50mm,my drummer is wearing red coat with blue facing and not the reverse as with most regiments.my Sergeant  and line fusiliers are almost complete and will be posting pics.i have mounted my figures on two pence's as i always seem to have a load kicking around,with another eight fusiliers ordered including an officer this time.my 23rd fusiliers are near completed.
