The Duchy of Tradgardland maintains some colonies overseas. The Duke is currently looking at three designs for new uniforms for the Colonial infantry.

The original new uniform drawings produced for the Duke to view.
Here are three soldiers dressed in the prototype uniforms- one in the blue uniform,one in the white uniform and one in the khaki one. Please aid the Duke by casting your vote for the uniform of your choice ( by Sunday) by leaving a comment. Your help is greatly appreciated by the Duke.
Figures again are conversions from Crescent Guards with Dorset Toy Soldier heads added.
Tradgardmastare,
ReplyDeleteMy vote goes to the light blue uniform. Light enough for the tropics whilst still looking smart.
All the best,
Bob
Another vote for the light blue.
ReplyDeleteGot to be light blue, old man -
ReplyDeleteHave to agree light blue!
ReplyDeleteI'd go for the light blue. Seems somehow more tropical.
ReplyDeleteYes the light blue I think .
ReplyDeleteWhite seems quite tropical too.
ReplyDeleteUse all of the uniforms Alan. White for ceremonial number 1 dress, khaki for the grim business of fighting, and surely blue is the Marines who accompany Tradgardland's many river launches and gunboats, as well as manning the Gatling guns etc. Best regards. Phil
ReplyDeleteThe light blue tunic with the white pants and kepi look good for officers. Enlisted men would have the all blue and helmets if I were choosing.

ReplyDeleteIt’s got to be the blue Your Grace. White is fine for dress but will soon look dirty on campaign. The khaki is clearly for dishonourable types who want to skulk about in the dirt unobserved. The blue is both practical and smart.
I like the blue. The khaki is clearly the most practical. So it has to be the white....
ReplyDeleteLight Blue. Maybe with green cuffs.
ReplyDeleteLight blue, as they would look too much like British in khaki.
ReplyDeleteLight blue for me too!
ReplyDeleteLight Blue is the my favorite
ReplyDeleteLight Blue Alan.
ReplyDeleteermmm... can I vote for light blue as well?
ReplyDeleteI'm for blue too, the Dorset heads make a big improvement to these figures.
ReplyDeleteLight Blue is true
ReplyDeleteWell, having already voted on FB, I'll repeat it here and add my voice for light blue. Never was one to go with what all the other countries etc were doing.
ReplyDeleteI would like a unit of each, but if I had to choose it would be the blue
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your votes everyone,light blue it is then!
