Something Brighter

Having spent the last month more or less painting Prussian blue, grey and black, I thought it would be fun to try something more colourful.  I have had these French Guard Chasseurs a Cheval for some years and they were worn and faded and needed a face lift and rebasing.  In the end I almost completely repainted them but now they certainly add a splash of colour:







the figures are 25mm Miniature Figurines S range and they now take pride of place alongside my S Range French army.

  2. Yes! One of the loveliest Napoleonic cavalry uniforms anywhere.

    1. I would agree, green with red and orange work well together.
