Yep - you can get stuck in at Magenta now

Any chance of doing the same conversion but with a shako for the 1859 Voltigeurs?

I've got both of those on the lists, they're something we might look at towards the end of the year when we try and fill in some gaps here and there.

Conversion as in ...

I asked Dave to pop a bearskin onto the FPW French Line Infantry & Command figures so he did

The picture does not do the figures justice

Hello, I've just received my batch of FPW & 1859 French. For Guard Voltigeurs I've bought the French Infantry of the Crimean War (they've got shako and epaulettes), i hope this helps.
