Just completed painting a unit of 24 of these figures having bought a couple of boxes last year and (hopefully) attached some pictures:

I substituted a metal standard bearer (Prince August figure?) as the Mars figure had a moulded flag and I wanted to have a paper flag instead (easier than painting the moulded one with all the folds etc.)
There are 16 figures per box, 3 command figures, one pioneer and 12 grenadiers in 4 different poses. The figures are nicely detailed although the drummer lacks a sword and the haversacks seem quite wide. My main gripe is that there are some quite intrusive mould lines to clean off on all the figures and these go through some of the figures’ faces hence a couple of them have ended up with “boxers’ noses”!
All in all though, I think this is a good set and they were easy and enjoyable to paint up 👍
