Caldwell's Rangers were a light infantry unit with cut down shakos. Their alternative name was the Western Rangers. Need to paint their caps and trousers!
The Leeds Rifle Company were actually a militia company, and the Upper Canadian Militia were uniformed in green due to a shortage of red cloth. PAINT SHAKOS REDDEN!
The Canadian Fencibles I have modeled in fatigue caps just for the fact that I had no other figures and also in the ram charge position, you can't see that they are actually rifles. I'm not sure why I haven't painted their caps
The 49th Regiment are one of the few Regular British Regiments in Canada at the time. More shakos to paint
The 8th Regiment had lots of long service in Canada. Really? Still more shakos to paint!
The Glengarry Light Infantry are one of the most famous Canadian units in the history of the War of 1812. Ugh, I wonder how long my painting que is?
American 10th US Infantry. Paint paint paint
US 6th Infantry. Maybe done?
US 28th Infantry. Some more details 
US 11th Infantry. I'll check my books
Various American militia units.
Canadian Light Dragoons. My militias look ok. My dragoons just need belts painted.

I finally have some vacation so I painted up the shakos and belts on the rifle companies and the shakos on the regular Canadian and British units.
Any other units fielded for the crown forces for the War of 1812 will come from some of the Miniatures which I have for either the Seven Years War or the American Revolution which can coming into the War of 1812. In a pinch considering that they are wearing civilian type clothing.
I've also gotten some more Napoleonic British Infantry so I am going to do up the 100th Regiment of Foot. Plus additions to the Fencibles
