They sure do look nice! A shame the pics are a bit pixelated...

A nice paintjob! And I like the Cuirassiers in the next row.

cheers

Yes both are realy nice. But I thought the cuirassier 1812 greatcoats were gray, only the carabiniers greatcoat being blue. But maybe I'm wrong.

Cheers,

Hi Christiaan,

you are right, outside grey - inside facing colour.

cheers

Hello,
on the pixellation,i am trying to replace them with better pics, on the colours thanks,i am afraid my research is somewhat lacking,if i cant find it in any of my ospreys,or after a half hour search on the net,i tend to use the box art,apologies,but i am a primarily a painter.,hows that for a thread anyway

" How acurate is most box art?"

about the greatcoats Tom:

If you have the Osprey about napoleon's Dragoons and lancers, check plate F. It shows a lancer in greatcoat. Although a lancer the colour of the greatcoat would be the same. Don't know which brand of paint you use, but if you use Revell aqua colour I would suggest Staubgrau 77, with a little bit of white to make it lighter.

Cheers,

Christiaan
