Converting Perry 95th / KGL into Glengarry Light Infantry

For some reason I really enjoy converting miniatures. Both knuckleduster and Old Glory make these guys, but I already had the plastic 95th from the Perry plastic British anyways (and the Perry ones are so nice).

The Glengarry Light Infantry were uniformed just like the 95th but had muskets instead of rifles. They may have had the slightly smaller light infantry Brown Bess. Their Colonel (Red) George Macdonnel was painted at the time with a green pelisse with brown fur (just like the 95th). Other officers have been portrayed as wearing a a scottish style sash across the torso.

These were probably an average line unit. They were formed of Scottish Canadians in 1812. Only small detachments fought in 1813, then the whole unit fought heavily at Lundy's Lane, Fort Erie, and the almost battle of Cook's Mills (a great What If? Scenario). At Lundy's Lane they helped destroy Scott's brigade by skirmishing on their flank. They later broke from friendly fire, then retreated out of the battle behind the other British units. 

To create these I cut their rifles at an angle, then took extra gun arms from British Perry plastics and cut them the same way. They are surprisingly durable when glued ths way; more durable than my brigade games, old glory or victrix guns which break frequently. I also used the metal Perry 95th, and the 2nd KGL. The 2nd KGL have muskets and can also easily be converted. Some minor plume and shako braid trimming and you are done.

The officer of the reenactment unit is wearing a pre War of 1812 Tartelon, I don't think this is accurate.
