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.
