There are plenty of models of the Chasseurs à Cheval de la Garde in pelisse and dolman. The tailcoat was ubiquitous as a day to day as well as undress uniform across many corps and regiments in Napoleon's army, so I thought that I would model the uniform with a number of different headresses to suit different orders of dress and line as well as Guard regiments. The aim is to produce a range of similarly posed figures for Victory Miniatures with the aim of showing off the different uniform options. I have modelled breeches with the option of both the Austrian knot and chevrons. The options should include officers and a trumpeter in a pale blue uniform as well:
Colpack:
Bicorne:
Shako (1st Line Regiment):
There is obviously more work to be done, but as a walking out uniform the left shoulder requires an epaulette and the medical officer a trefoil knot. The latter is unusual in that the 'plastron', collar, cuffs and lace are maroon and the collar and cuffs have gold lace and 'leaves'.
Happy modelling,
Mike
