Last year I got locked down with a number of small modelling projects, one of which was to make French light infantry with side plumes, not front plumes, on their shakos. For reference I used the Osprey "Napoleon's Light Infantry".
As these are 6mm Baccus troops, based for BBB, I could use a little licence and found suitable regiments to base the units upon.
I went for yellow over green and yellow over red plumes. I also made two bases for each unit, one in full dress and one in greatcoats.
It was a time consuming job to file a groove in the side of each shako and add a plume - in this case a bayonet repurposed. However, with no tv and on my own, I had a lot of time to spare.... The front plumes were, of course, removed.
So, on with the pictures:
Excellent
