OK, I tried not to, but: I think the correct term for the garment is Dolman. The Pelisse is the furlined 'jacket' often worn draped over the left shoulder.

You must, you must!

Go on - paint some up, display the pics here then sell them for a tidy profit.

That way everyone's happy  ;)


More great figures, Schogun. I don't mind admitting I love Napoleonics even with the more anal types it can attract.

"Busby"? Isn't that where you stand and wait for the bus to come by?  lol

I like Naps but I try not to be a button counter about it. Perhaps if I just said 'jacket' instead.

Yeah, I know. It's taken me a while to get over the OCD aspects and fear of being judged by the other button-counters and just get things painted and in play whether the minute details are right or not.

Hell, most of the details I can't even see on a 25mm figure, let alone 15mm, so I skim over them.
