Can anyone else remember the 1970s War and Peace series starring Anthony Hopkins as Pierre. I'm sure the uniforms changed with the passing of time.

Not only remember it but got the book by Christopher Duffy, Borodino Napoleon against Russia, 1812, paperback by Sphere, 1972 with a few stills of Brordino from the tv series. French troops are all grenadiers with red epaulettes, long red tails on dark blue jackets and all wearing white trousers. Tricky to tell too much because of distance shot. Next pic down has two french guns with gunners in what looks like the similar uniform -blue trousers and white gaiters- only one has the top band of his shako in yellow.

The Russians are in lightish green jackets with short red tails and red edged cuffs, trousers are white.. Not at all sure of the headgear, whether it's a shako or a kiwer though; they look flat topped with white top bands and cords. can't see any aiguilettes though -picture taken from the wrong side.

superb work there!

in fact, I think use a different die color for each army corps, a simple and visual method to find ......

An even better idea

Good evening everyone,
painting test figurines samples .......

the typical Russian infantry of the battle of Austerlitz: a musketeer and a sub officer of grenadier :





a French "chasseur" 3rd Squadron of the 16th Regiment:

Your painting is superb, but I sure do pity that MM horse carrying the French Chasseur.  They look as if they are about the same weight!   

Mollinary

that are not MM figures, but actually, the horse is very small (even for light cavalry !!) and we do not know who the horse or rider carries the other !! 

Nicely done sir

If not MM who's is the undernourished nag?

Very nice indeed

Take care

Andy

They are Lancer miniatures and, in fact, sculpted by the same sculptor as the MM range.

thanks WW

Simply amazing work, Eric!

 

Hi everybody!!
I finally the explanation for this disproportion of the rider, the engraver having the cares of making larger horses for the heavy cavalry, to make it visible, he has decided to increase this difference ..... ..I can understand it, and then once in the unit, it is noticeable really, but you can judge soon: twisted:

Meanwhile, a small glimpses of progress ........
