This is very nice - are all your Matelots (and Guard Engineers for that matter) in full dress uniforms?

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!! ;)

Looks great Ged! How will your Naps range compare size-wise with the Perry Minis metals / plastics?
