Hy . For Ney's IIIrd corps at borodino I am looking for some 15mm portugese in french service miniatures . Hard to find . they had a special headgear so you cannot use french line !

Anyone has some info who would do such rare unit

Portuguese units in FRENCH service , Ney's IIIrd corps ....1812.

They had a small "shako" but of portuguese design .

Its called a Barretina shako - very similar to the Belgic shako.

Most Napoleonic manufacturers have Portuguese figures in Barretina.

The Portuguese Legion is wearing a French-style uniform. Don't know/think the Portuguese were wearing that cut of coat when they were still equipped with the barretina.

Elite Miniatures does them but in 28mm unfortunately.

Perhaps doing head-swaps may be necessary.

you can use the headless Portuguese as casualties from your canister
