A miniature which is shorter than the average height. If you collection is 18mm, think 15mm. If 15mm, find a shorter 15mm to reflect the youth of these units.
Basic 1812 fusilier habit veste, pointed cuffs uniform with no sword. Pompom plume. Single crossbelt for ammo. Some sources say they used dragoon pattern cavalry muskets in lieu of normal muskets. Some units wore green coats 1st-4th, other had white 5th-7th battalions.

Use Battle Honor figures as these will be close to the AB's in style, but just smaller in appearance. |

I chose the AB late young guard in Bardin uniform for my Flanquers-chasseurs/grenadiers. Were not the uniformes of the Pupilles very similar to these…? These Flanquer-chasseurs were painted for me by Reinforcements by post. Neil also did the Flanquer-grenadiers for me and did a great job on them to:) picture is from their website:
