Lovely stuff. How did you find the figures to paint quality wise – ie were the details clear and easy to locate with the brush etc Thanks Marc |

@Marc, those are not great sculpts by Revell, I must say, but with a bit of work they can look nice enough. |

I thought so. I have mine to do but much prefer the Italeri hussars so maybe I need to convert some |

Hussars are not Chasseurs a Cheval of La Garde, nor the converse. Even the Colpack is different, it was taller and narrower for Boney's own lads than for occifers and elite companies of his hussars. Chass a Chev de la Garde maybe looked like hussars…….but they were subtly more like elite squadrons of Chasseurs of La Ligne, je pense…..OK then comes the pelisse that ruins that idea……… I know what I mean……… Help me someone. Surely no Hussars de la Garde until 1815, they never saw action…………and I do not include Gardes d'Honneur (which were hussars, head to toe but never called such…funny business this) |

Hmmmm. I will need to do some serious research then. Sadly Liam, the revell figures available to those of us in the genuine OTS are perhaps not the finest figures. So I am always looking for how to create a truly elite formation. I shall be relying heavily on my Blandfords… |

Looking at the plates, I can see that i could do (probably un-historical) full dress using hussars as the base, or service dress using ligne chasseurs as the strting point. Interesting… |

Definitely…some doubt as to whether they used the Guard pattern shabraque on campaign, or just the sheepskin as for Hussars and line chasseurs. The full dress with pelisse slung is so iconic, I'd go for it any day! |

Mateus – how big are your bases? I'm guessing 2" x 2" (50mm x 50mm), but I'd like to be sure. I'm looking at rebasing my 1/72 armies, and yours have the spacing about right. - Ix |
