Hello everyone Well I have a lot to look for, there are no 25/30 mm figures representing Les Volontaires Bretons from 1746 to 1749, it is amazing to not even find stuff that would resemble them vaguely … Please do not know a factory that proposes the Volontaires Bretons de 1746 à 1749 in 25/30 mm figures? Thank you for your help. Later

Hi Breton, You would have to try the "Arquebusiers de Grassin" in Eureka Miniatures' Austrian War of Succession range : link You'll have some work on the mirlitons ! link Kenavo ! Loïc

Thank you I will have to make the pelisses or we would have to find hussars on foot … Or they did not always wear their pelisses on their shoulders. Kenavo ! Breton

Apparently they didn't wear pelisses like hussars. More a longer hooded style. See Michel Petard's illustrations. My Breton Volunteers were made out of Garrison Figures dismounted Prussian hussars, so will have to be switched!

With Green Stuff, I will arrange this because there are many illustrations about them…

I have just seen the two new British mounted colonels and the new sublime French hussars, they are incredibly magnificent, these hussars will allow me in the future to make other French regiments. Unfortunately these new French hussars, like the old hussars of he reference FRC-004, accept only horses galloping with their four legs folded inwards, but I do not see any horse in this position in photo on the website of Crann Tara? Someone has a picture of these horses in this position ??? … Alas the firearms of the new dismounted hussars have nothing to do with those of the reference FRC-004 ??? They are much shorter !!! Also now it would be necessary to have references of dismounted variants of FRC-004 with a longer weapon than those of the new dismounted hussars and also references of the mounted variants of the new dismounted hussars with their short rifles … Now I'm expecting new figures for Chasseurs of Fisher and Bretons volunteers on foot (companies on foot, not dismounted chasseurs or volunteers) with gaiters and muskets … In any case it is really damn beautiful figures !
