Voltigeurs of the Young Guard

 I've been working on a battalion of Voltigeurs of the Young Guard.  I wanted to show them with tall plumes, which is probably wrong for Waterloo, but the urge is irresistible.  The figures are conversions from a number of sets, most notably the new Strelets Bavarians at ease.  They are shown in a reserve company behind the firing line.  There are about 120 figures here - quite a few to go to reach the full battalion strength.

    These look great. Once again, your mix of figures really adds to the effect and your conversions are excellent. Brilliant stuff!

    Thanks James, I love doing conversions and find these new Strelets really appealing!

    Great looking Young Garde, and so what if they never had plumes. Some of them could have kept them from earlier campaigns.
