Inspiring! It gives me hope for a project that will no doubt involve head swaps. Thanks! Grelber |

You are very kind Grelber!
It took me some time to decide on which figures to use. I really liked the Perry ECW cuirassiers as they were in a suitably 'held in reserve' pose and all were wearing sashes. Unfortunately, all the troopers had plain helmets which I felt needed a bit more dash for Gendarmes and so the head swaps with some in floppy hats and some plumed helmets.

I have now added an additional pic of the French Command Group painted up at the same time was the Gendarmes.
