Some studies I did of the British at Monmouth this past June, featuring soldiers and musicians from the 22nd, 33rd, and 71st regiments of foot, inspired by William Barns Wollen’s 1911 sketchbook. Fantastic event and I can’t wait to do it again.

2023 Pirate Display
A largish redcoat fort I built as part of a pirate collaborative build with CoWLUG and DENLUG. It will be joined with builds from 10 other local builders to form a massive layout. My section features 4 powered lantern lights, a motorized windmill, and motorized flying seagulls.

1st February 1692 saw troops move south from Fort William and billeted with the MacDonalds at Glencoe.
When the MacDonalds saw the redcoats marching over their valley it must have been quite a shock, however they were under the protection of Fort William garrison and had no reason to fear these soldiers. Instead at the company’s request to be billeted, they welcomed them into their homes and gave them food and drink.
Glenlyon told the Chief they were collecting taxes from each clan, by order of Colonel Hill. He could even produce papers to that effect. This satisfied the MacDonalds. The captain, Glenlyon, was billeted in the Clan Chief’s own house. Glenlyon’s neice was married to the Chief of the MacDonalds youngest son, and Glenlyon also visited daily with his niece and her new family. The rest of the company were billeted in homes up and down the valley about 3 or 4 to a house. Unknown to Clan MacDonald fatal danger now lay within the heart of each home.
The redcoats stayed with the MacDonalds for almost two weeks.........more to come on February 13th

A very fun trip to Fort George this summer to see the 1812 reenactment. As I get older the camp life stuff and work in the kitchen becomes a lot more interesting than just the drill and soldiering (still fun). Met lots of great people and learned a lot of cool stuff.

Wellington’s women
Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington enjoyed the company of women, except his wife, who he detested. His marriage to Catherine ‘Kitty’ Pakenham was commonly known to be loveless; he infamously remarked to his brother before their wedding, “She has grown ugly, by Jove”. Not an excellent start.
As perhaps the most famous and sexy man in Europe, (superseded only by the man whose wars granted him his celebrity) the Duke enjoyed no shortage of admirers. (Read: women threw themselves at him; redcoat fever was real). The attraction was mutual: according to Sharon Selin, “Wellington was very much at ease with women and enjoyed their company, especially if they were good-looking and intelligent”
I have endeavoured to record this list (with links to resources) of few of the women who graced good old nosey’s life for my research and writing.
Mrs Harriet Arbuthnot (close friend and Tory hostess, plus a political ally)
Tumblr media
A powerful political woman
More
Lady Charlotte Greville (this one was almost certainly an affair - her husband even wrote telling her she was too obvious 😳)
Tumblr media
More
Giuseppina Grassini (the opera singer he was frequently seen with in Paris in 1814, who also had an affair with his greatest enemy, Napoleon. Boss bitch for sure)
Tumblr media
More
Marianne Patterson (this one was going well until she actually ended up marrying his brother 😬)
Tumblr media
More
Angela Burdett-Coutts (rich heiress and philanthropist, who proposed to him (power move) when she was 33 and he was 77. And yes, she was from that Coutts family)
Tumblr media
More

British Jail AKA Death by Consumption. I feel like Lt. Brampton is gunning way too hard for a promotion. His superior officers probably hate him.

Can we all take a moment to appreciate the 59th Foot’s Revolutionary War-era facings of “rose pompadour” - certainly makes a change from the usual white or blue or yellow! Recreated coats made by Chris Cook.

"Cutting It Close"
A few baseplates I'm working on as part of a larger CoWLUG/DENLUG pirate collaborative build. I'm also working on a large redcoat fort for the display.
