I have just finished basing some French Guard cavalry. Lovely figures from Adler: link Steve |

Absolutely stunning! I can't paint like that in 28mm, let alone 6mm! |

very nice figures from Adler and extremly well painted – I would go for black bearskin caps for Grenadier à Cheval trumpeter though. |

Those are quite stunning – would be very well done even for a larger scale. I personally like the white bearskin for the trumpeter myself, even if it may be "wrong". Doubtless that's because the Funken plate, which was my first exposure to this elite regiment, depicts them that way. |

I also like it in white and more than Funken has it as a white bearskin so happy to be 'wrong' in company; bottom line looks good |

Very nice,
White bearskin common enough trumpeter distinction, sources always get renewed/recycled and 'new' stuff ( often mere opinions seemingly) comes out that very often seems to disagree with older sources to make a point of being 'new' than for any particular facts. Truth is the answer is more often than not we just dont know. Napoleonic uniformology is one of those things that can drive you totally loony if you not careful lol I like it in white myself, looks the biz.

"Truth is the answer is more often than not we just dont know. " One is often down to an educated guess, but then should chose the most likley – I agree on that. As for black bearskin caps for Grenadiers à Cheval trumpeters, Rousselot took painfull research that those were worn and the truth is – in that case we very likley know that only black bearskin caps for trumpeter in Grenadiers à cheval were worn. I always find it a pity to play down such evidence as mere trivia when on the other hand sculptor and painter try to do their very best in sculpting and painting historical close figures. It is always frustrating to see the just bad research and mythology sticks like …. At least one should have the choice as black bearskin caps due to research
or
white bearskin caps – Not due to superficial research – but choice – i.e. white bearskin caps look better in the eye of the beholder. |

Parade and Campaign bearskins! |

Parade and Campaign bearskins! Not for grenadiers à cheval but for chasseurs à cheval |

Absolutely beautiful figures! I do not know if anyone of us knows definitively whether or not the trumpeters wore white bearskins out of possible parade conditions, but they are certainly a superior look to black bearskins… At the end of the day they are your figures to game with and on the wargame table they certainly look much more attractive with the white bearskins which make them "pop".
