Finding it hard to get some command models for the French 1870. Seems the Perry bros haven't released any yet. Any suggestions for mounted generals and adcs?

I'm sure the Perrys will get around to it eventually, but for now you might consider the mounted officers from the Perry's War of the Triple Alliance range. French military fashion was influential in Latin America at the time and some could easily pass for Frenchmen, the Uruguayans in particular: link

What about some ACW Officer figures? Not much difference between 1861-65 and 1870 as far as I can see.

Nottingham, those are very pretty figures.
