I'm after 20mm French Napoleonic Horse Artillery gun crews, plastic or metal, with Plumes not pom-poms on their Shakos...
nobody seems to make them?

I use Hat French horse artillery, but they just have the pom-pom.  Perhaps welding on a plume from elsewhere like the Zvezda French Artillery would work.

I've had a re-think along the lines of...
wot would we have done in 1972?
Answer, Airfix French Artillery set, plumes added, from glue soaked Kleenex tissue. That funny little gunner bloke shagging a cannonball has become the guinea pig!

Back in the day we were way ahead of you lot as regards battlefield vignettes to tell a little story. One, which I'll try and find out involved that pervy little Frenchie, behind a tree with a sheep from the Airfix farm animals set.
