French Legere Unit

It didn't take too long but doing all that white lace was a pain! These are Old Glory Young Guard figures. I saw these on Paul's 'Napoleonics in Miniature' blog and I thought they looked good. I wanted a legere unit all with plumes and these seemed a good way of doing it, they also have the short gaiters which gives them a 'light' infantry look to them. The old glory figures are good but the best units are generally made of AB figures, these allow excellent painting results(even by me!) but sadly are a bit too expensive these days (what? -three price increases in a few months). I guess the bulk of my infantry will be Old Glory and the cavalry by AB.

 I composed them with the command base and two others as Chassuers and the fourth stand as carabiniers. The voltiger stands will be the smaller bases with two figures. I've yet to buy these guys.

The flag is by AB, usually I download and printoff the free WarFlags.

I based them the usual way using 'no more nails'  and  different sizes of scatter but didn't use the grassy tufts - just hairy grass scatter this time.
