   At the time of posting there are no grenadiers in Mark Copplestone's range, so here is my first stab at converting and painting a Scots Grenadier of 1680 as he might have looked at Tangiers

The Project reached fulfillment when on 

11th September the game of Tangiers was presented at Colours 2010
