Nice start Jan!

Getting them dressed. I would like to create a group of men with a few different clothes, as it was on campaign, I think.

Only the basic color:

Well done so far. I really like the look of this figures. I especially like the brim on the shako, looks realistic to my eye. Really looking forward to this project.

They are looking good and the idea of different clothes gives a nice touch to the bunch

[MABO]

Thank you all for your interest. Here a small update: I have washed and shaded the clothes and finally today painted the boots.

There is more to come maybe tomorrow night.

Yesterday I painted the next steps:

The gaiters



And I painted the base for all the straps.




It took me 2 hours of painting and the whole film Apollo 13

[Peter]

Great progress on these figures

[MABO]

Here another update after a couple of days:



I hope to finish them soon.

[Thanos]

Nice progress. Getting there...

[MABO]

And the next steps. The figs are nearly finished, but all the guys need their backpacks.

[Beano Boy]

Splendid work.

[Peter]

Great painted figures so far Jan!

I'm a little bit confused about the topic title and the long plume on the hats. I think when they have this long plume, they should be Chasseurs of the Middle Guard or Voltigeurs from the Young Guard.
Just my opinion and I can be wrong, but that's what I have found as information in the book armies at Waterloo.

Hello Peter,

I referred to the informations in the book of Rousselot.
here you can see that they wear a plume as well as the Fussilier Chasseurs. But the Chasseurs had a plume red over green.

In the meantime they are ready and I have posted them in the other section. But here a picture as well:
