Gents, although I appreciate your enthusiasm for historical accuracy, you shouldn't have bombarded this poor fellow with historical-inaccuracy hatred.
For skin making, I don't really care making a 100% historically inaccurate one. If I wanted to, I could replace all the French troops with walking bologna sandwiches, which would have uncircumcised dicks for limbs.
I'll take skins requests that are -MAKEABLE-, not necessarily historically accurate ones. By 'makeable' I mean I should be able to make them with whatever models and materials NW already has, or that I can easily make myself. For instance, most uniforms of the Napoleonic era, some of the 1790's and a few Crimean.
You're saying this fellow posted up pictures of many different regiments that looked similar. Well, I could have done a generic, with blank laces, badges and equipment. Or even better, inventing a fully original unit, giving me more creative freedom to screw around in Paint.net and OpenBRF.
Now... where did I put that sandwich model?
