    I am painting the fusilier- Grenadier Imperial Guard 1810 from Metal Modeles

    Can anyone help please with the colour of the epaulettes, I know the fringe is white. Is the body red with 2 thin white stripes or white with 2 thin red stripes?

    Not with this forum buddy the books are all great though.
    I would recommend:-

    "Uniformes de la garde imperiale" by G. oogle
    and click on images

    It's affordable and

    never out of print and

    postage free !

    Thank you Paul, my area is the American civil war but I will paint anything that I like the look of.

    My preferred arena is the napoleonic and north american native tribes.

    I have to say the civil war state and volunteer units full dress uniforms are very attractive thoughm

    There's plenty of choice for you to exploit across the scales too.

    Hope you never lose the pleasure of the hobby.

    There's a fair old bit of proper comradeship and genuine appreciation of anyones efforts on here too.

    Have a good weekend mate

    Paul
