I know this topic has come up in the past, but that said, I'm looking for print or on line sources of Franco Prussian War uniform plates to use as painting guides. I've got all four Ospreys on the subjects as well as the three volume set someone referred me to, but the problem is the three volume set has no PLATES, I need plates/on line illustrations to send out to my painter to do the figures. Specifically, Prussian allied uniforms; infantry, cavalry, artillery aside from Bavarians, also the correct colors for French and Prussian/allied artillery pieces. Any sources would be appreciated, thanks in advance………………. |

For French artillery carriages mix yellow and black. That's what they did. It comes out looking olive green. |

Just look, there's hundreds of online sources and the Ospreys themselves are pretty comprehensive. |
