Looking for some uniform data re Chasseurs of the line 1808/1812 ish
IE facing colours as I wish to do a trumpeter but not the one with the pink uniform

Ron

Any use.....



Ron

Sure is Ron C

Think I've got the Rousselot plate - I'll dig it out and take a look for you

The most numerous of the Napoleonic cavalry regiments and the poorest documented
Perhaps due to the drabbest of uniforms .

Here's some.

Martin

Thank Martin , that just about wraps this one up, plenty to choose from now

Hi Ron

Have a look at this. http://www.napolun.com/mirror/napoleonistyka.atspace.com/French_Cavalry.html#frenchchasseurs .

Mick

Thank Mick , I often forget about this valuable link

Hi Ron,
You asked and it looks like you've received, I'll chime in with this one pitiful picture.

All the best.
Chris.

hi Ron,

if you want to paint the metal Modeles kit you have to pay attention to the period and to the uniform. The coat wore by the figure has the kinsky cut and started to be used in 1809 or closer.
Between the start and the introduction of the "livree imperiale " in 1812 the rule was to have it in facing colors

Thanks Ivo, always try to stick to the period
Now that figure of yours is something special , is it a metal models conversion

That's a very neat conversion of the MM trumpeter, Ivo Any chance of more pictures?

Alan

yes Ron is a MM conversion very easy...

I changed the horse head and the trumpet head to have a more campaign situation, very few details to depict a 22° chasseur trumpeter playing the alarm

I like the addition of the cloak and overalls , always think it is best to add something to the MM stuff even as little as changing a head. You can get really hooked on metal models

Very effective setting, Ivo -- like the trees! Thank you for the extra pictures.

Alan
