1/72 Portuguese Cacadores

 Hi guys

Nearly finished my first 1/72 Napoleonic unit for the year, I’m concentrating on the Peninsulsr war first, and have started with Portuguese, and specifically Portuguese Cacadors, figures are 3D printed using the Wargames Atlantic set, please note, the set doesn’t contain a bugler or rammer/loading option, I came up with those myself.

Printable Napoleonic flags

 Hi guys

As I plan to re start my 1/72 Napoleonic projects this year, I decided to print some flags up for the troops, back in 2010, I review the downloadable flags site war flags, you can see the original review Here 

The obvious choice is to use the excellent warflags flags, I hadn’t visited the site in a long time and was surprised to find it had been shut down, so I did a search on the way back machine, here is the link to the old site, Warflags and Napflags it’s a real shame to see it was shut down, but I was able to retrieve the files for use, here they are printed for 1/72 on glossy high quality paper, I still need to print out the Russian an Prussian flags.
