It had to happen, having finished my first British Brigade I decided to start on the French. I wanted to check out the plastics available and as my French will have to do duty from Egypt to the Peninsula I decided to go for the Victrix French Infantry 1804 - 1807.
I'm having to 'fudge'.
I'm using the 1804 - 1807 figures in Bicorne but I'm doing them in the later 6 company French Battalions but without the company designation pom-poms. I've decided on 24 man Battalions with duplicate Voltigeurs in close order and skirmishing.
Anyway, above is the first of my test figures, a Voltigeur based skirmishing.
Despite the poor photography (a combination of no talent and a crap old camera) I hope you can see the cowskin pack as I think it came out well.
Very nice. I suppose you can mix heads etc as the bicorne was worn a lot longer than people think. There were still some worn by the 3rd and 4th Guards at Waterloo so I believe.
