10TH ROYAL GRENADIERS OF CANADA c.1890
This unit forms part of my Colonial defence forces. The 10th Royal Grenadiers of Canada were a volunteer-militia battalion, recruited in Ontario. It was formed in the 1860s when there was a threat of war with the United States. The six company battalion later participated in several small-scale, local conflicts, although vital to the safety of Canada. By 1881 the eight company battalion was restyled 'Royal Grenadiers'. Their uniform included a bearskin, with a distinctive red over white plume. My figures are lead W. Britains given a complete facelift. These guys will probably serve as skirmishers in any conflict.

Love the addition of those striking plumes - they really make those figures stand out from the crowd. Another superb colonial force. Congratulations.
ReplyDeletePaul, I like plumes to be exaggerated, so I cast my own with a rear peg, just have to drill a hole and superglue the plume.

Mow that's a great tip with the peg :)
ReplyDeleteHad to do something as the different figures had plumes on different sides, and some in my spares box had none. Now I can truly say its a unit lol.
