Second to First Empire

 Massimo has recently been producing units for his Solferino project.  Usually, Second Empire units can't easily do a time jump to the First Empire - their trousers are too baggy, their beards too pointy and their kit just too complicated.

But I thought I would give his Cuirassiers a go.  The results aren't perfect and the expert will find much to criticise, but nevertheless I like their dynamism and think they will fit in well when lost among the several thousand other Cuirassier that are either complete or under way for the project.

  2. They have come up a treat and you can certainly 'get away with it' to my eye! The interesting, animated poses are perfect for your diorama. They remind one of Dumoulin's Waterloo panorama.
