Started to work on the moumted officer of the 43rd Line infantry, i've got rid of his mustache and added side curls for thebpowdred wig, officers of the regular infantry at thw time of Valmy still looked smart and Royal rather than ragged unkept folks like after the abolishiion of the monarchy, right after Valmy, due to shortage of clothimg and sporting the rebelious revolutionary spirit .
The drummer boy will be with the volunteers ( Les Bleus), the other figure belongs to the French cavalry, don't know which regiment yet.
