FPW figures should work. Basically the same uniforms |

Irregular, if you go the FPW route. |

B&B Miniatures and Black Watch Miniatures are two other options. |

None of these three manufacturers offers 20mm miniatures representing French troops in the Crimea. The uniforms, equipment and armament of the French army in 1870 – 71 have very little to do with those of the French army in the Crimean War. So I only have my minifigs left… You know where to find some because I lack references… |

Do the Black Watch Solferino French also not work? link |

Black Watch is for 1859 and 1870 wars, not for the Crimean War! Completely different uniforms, equipment and armaments! The Black Watch, I owned them all then sold them, too many separate parts and uniformological errors for me..! |

I guess it's like the difference between 1914 and 1916 Germans? Oh man, I guess you're outta options! Plastics it must be, eh, or an entirely different scale? |

@Rocco Siffredi
If you assume that it's like the difference between 1914 and 1916 Germans, you are assuming wrong. Oh man, I guess you've never heard of the Crimean War 'S' range Minifigs? |
