Plastic Napoleonic French Hussars
This is just a peek at what will be coming up in the future after Michael's Wars of the Roses plastic box set, so these are some way off at the moment (as are the WotRs). Sorry, no release dates yet.
The idea behind the Hussar box is that you'll be able to build any French (and a fair few foreign) Hussar regiments from the 1790s to 1815 in either campaign or full dress. The uniform only altered slightly during the period, the dolman and pelisse both becoming slightly shorter as the period progressed, which is not that noticeable on a 28mm figure. Included in the box will be enough heads to kit the whole unit out in either mirlitons, colpacks, three different types of bell-top shakos (one of which is covered) or the later cylindrical shakos. The torsos are separate from the legs, to allow you to choose between the full dress breaches or campaign overalls. The pelisses are also separate.
There will be more pictures of these on our website soon.
