interesting customs Hadoque !
just a question for Mapoleonic experts..is there any rules/records of soldiers having to carry their rifles slung behind their shoulders during long marches (of carried resting on the front of their shoulders?) for faster 'deployment' in case of a surprise attack ;D (like whether the shorter samurai side arm is worn blade up or down for a faster first strike/defense)  ;)

Interesting question! I don't have a clue... ???

With my Playmo-soldiers I use both methods;
a) rifles in front of the klicky: slightly raised arm with tilted backwards rifle (like he is holding the rifle in the palm of his hand and holding the barrel against his shoulder)
b) rifle on the back of the klicky, rifle almost straight up (like there would be a rope attached to the rifle so he carries it by holding tightly the rope over his shoulder.)

Hi Hadoque, they look great. Since you asked I prefer the brown belts. Can you tell me where the torsoes are from? If I can get some I'd love to copy your design (assuming you don't mind).

Those are excellent customs, Hadoque.  The choice of colours for the uniforms looks really smart.

White cross belts or brown?  Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?  Well, may I suggest both, the white cross belts for the privates and the single brown belt for the NCOs as they have less to carry and it marks them out as different from the rest.

I think they look good with both, or just ow they are.
I don't think I would change that regiment.

The torsos come from this set: http://playmodb.org/setpics/4258.jpg

Nice customs, Erwin and HDL.  I like Gordon's idea of using the white crossbelts for the privates and the sword belts for the NCOs.  I'm wondering if black might work better, though, as it would match their boots.
