Okay, on to the next challange......this great 120mm vignette but............I have NO clue on the uniforms these guys are wearing. What are they, what are the right colors etc.etc.
So, my dear friends, I turn to you, humble and with great respect .......PLEASE, HELP ME OUT !!!

Are you joking It must say on the packet what they are .

French Cuirassier and British heavy Dragoon ,the later might be wrong but not by much

Well that covers the French Guy

I've been working on mine for sometime...... lost a lot of time due to an accident at work, slowly getting back to it, there is loads of stuff on the web.

Thanks Ronaldo !

Hi Nap, yep, I've seen the painting but who's who? blue the brit, red the frog?

Thanks! That helps!!!

I Hans
I'm using pretty much all of the above for reference.

And again, NAP, you're the BEST!!!

The moulding on the valise says the 4th, so pre 1810/11 it's this one:



Post 1810/11 sources vary. Lapray & Jouineau stick to red for all periods but other sources give aurore/orange as per the 6th (also note the buttoned campaign trousers on the Cabaret ones):



All of the facings here:

Funnily enough I always do a thumbnails (which will open up if you click on them) as loads of large ones tend to take over

But, will do so from now on

... ah, I see you've done it now: I don't think there's a loss of quality in thumbprints?

It's all good.

Thanks Neil, great reference material!!!
