Not sure I have ever seen the French Staff shown en masse like this….and how wonderful they do look.
I recognised almost every figure as they all sit in my lead pile. The reason? I bought many a French senior officer set purely for the horses and saddlery. (All to do with various projects that needed walking horses for heavy cavalry).
But then I was intrigued by this chap.
Show me what may be a unique conversion and I am caught/captivated/entranced. So who is he? Colbert I thought. Naw, you could never correct for the arm in a sling. The officer of Guard Lancers? Naw, too much effort to change the lapels etc. The Chasseurs a Chev de la Garde. Naw. Too much lace. Got it I thought!
Maybe he is the Perry Occifer of Line Chasseurs in cylindrical shako, but now with a Colpack and magnificent plume?
Whatever, he is really unusual and genius (as is the highlighting of the green)
Or is he a Perry limited edition that came out at the release of the plastic chasseurs?????? Never mind if so. He is still "different". I seem to recall now such being shown
One more chap I did not recognise and I knew the horse was not Perry. He looks like Paul Hicks work to me so I thought Murawski or Brigade Games Miniatures.
goes to sea with the Terrain Mat.
