Command & Control - Napoleonic Marshal's Uniforms - part 3

 Following on from earlier posts of French Marshals and their colourful uniforms, here are two more to add to the collection (part 1 & part 2).  The penny is a UK 1p.

Bernadotte left foreground & Junot to the right rearground.  The Bernadotte model is holding a telescope - perhaps watching from afar as Davout takes on the bulk of the enemy, perhaps spying a Kingdom to start his dynasty?  The ADC figure is a Baccus French Elite Cavalry trooper in sky blue with yellow facings and a buff coloured pelite.  

Junot is modelled as Commanding VIII Corps (see separate post here) with an ADC from the Westphalian Guard, whose uniform is topped off by a striking yellow plume.

A couple of minutes conversion work and quite fun models to paint.  As ever, I hope this encourages you to have a go.
