This is very nice - are all your Matelots (and Guard Engineers for that matter) in full dress uniforms?
Title: Re: French Marines of the Guard GREEN/Gringo40s

Commissar

good question actually they tended to favour full dress as it
was a french "thing" to be as well dressed as possible before
battle. i have some unseen eye witness accounts newly
unearthed by a good mate of mine on France that say the
Marines and Engineers were sporting full dress..in 1815
ie.plumes and
helmets.!! ive opted for that classic look........in brief yes!! ;)

Aaron, thanks for the link, it has a lot of great plates on it. Much appreciated.

Ged, I think you might get the rest of your 50 quid back from me if you keep making such nice figs! How do your Marines compare size wise to what is already on the market? Any comparison pics next to say sculpts by the Perry Twins and Hicksie?

Hi. Just been on Gringos new site and saw even more French Engineers and marines. Nice action poses and able to use them as part of a wargames battalion firing, advancing, etc.  Fantastic-although I'm not sure my Bank Manager would agree!!!!  lol and I like the new site Ged.

Best Wishes   DaveL
