Greetings All - I have a small dilemma and am hoping someone here may be able to help? 2-3 years ago I purchased several pre-painted 28mm French Generals off EBay - I've just hauled them out, and have identified 5 of them easily enough (Foundry & Front Rank figures) but am stumped on the last 2. If anyone recognises the figure or pose of No.4 and No.6 below I'd certainly appreciate a heads up or any suggestions. There is more info and slightly better quality images on my blog at: http://wargaming.info/2011/do-you-know-that-general-monsieur/ - appreciate any help anyone can provide...
No.4 has the plume broken off his Shako – obviously lost in transit – and is in what appears to be a Hussar uniform. He’s been painted up in red trousers & pelisse with a blue tunic (with red facings) which may or may not indicate who he is. His horse is not a Foundry one, nor any of the current Front Rank ones (it has a distinctive trotting pose with it’s head up but turned and it’s base is an unusual shape). There appears to be nothing in the Perry range that matches either…?
No.6 is in what looks like a Hussar Uniform, with Colpack (with red ‘bag’), and has been painted in all blue uniform (trousers & tunic - with red facings) but has a red pelisse. He looks to have a light cavalry cartridge box & belt over his shoulder so may be a Cavalry Command figure? His horse looks very Foundry like in style and size – but I can’t find any matching figure on the Foundry website (nor the Perry or Front Rank ones for that matter)…?
