Another part of my collection got an upgrade - French revolutionary artillery.
Foot artillery - I wanted a "ragged" look, so this was done in two ways:
1. I bought Spanish artillery with French guns - the individual figures were mixed in with the standard Baccus French figures - the Spanish don't have backpacks or great coats.
2. I gave some gunners overall trousers in grey or brown to break up the uniformity.
Here are the results
I also needed horse artillery. As far as I can tell French Horse Artillery wore the Bicorne, the Mirliton or the Tarleton Helmet. Yup - Tarleton helmet - pretty close to British Horse Artillery. So I made two bases of French Horse Artillery, basically just British Horse Artillery with a paint job . The leftover British guns will be going to the Spanish.
So, with a bit of mix and match and a paint job, I've got FRW Foot & Horse Artillery in the right uniforms.
