Hmm...there should have been pictures instead of links. Perhaps someone can tell me what I did wrong?

Thanks, Guy!

Ive changed them manually now but there doesnt seem to be any buttons to chose from now as before. I copied the urls for the picture and the automatically became urls not imgs?

I have to say these are some of the more interesting releases by Andrea in a while. I do like the Gone With The Wind figures and will most likely get this one. The Napoleon figure along with the Chasseur a Cheval would make a nice looking vignette. They are listed as different dates but could be combined with little, if any, modification needed. The one thing that strikes is the size of the colback. Most of the drawings/artwork/pictures I have seen all show a much larger colback. Not altogether impossible to fix mind you, just a little time and paitence along with some good reference (which, is all it would have taken in the first place).

Your thoughts?

Hi to all,
Naturally I want to speak only of Napoleonic subjects, I'm not interested in the other figures. I think they are well known, I should say both "déjà vus", Napoleon perhaps in this same position. The Chasseur is a logical issue with the Andrea book describing this Corp. To answer to Jim Patrick, the colpack was 250mm in the front part, 277mm in the rear part and 250mm of diameter on the top, so this headgear had a squared form. For officers, sometimes it could be a bit larger, they bought his colpack from artisans directly at their own cost.
Although not identically dated, the two figures are compatible, the Guard Chasseurs had this service dress from the Consular period to the end of Empire. They were in Russian campaign of course (but the vignette can be situated in any winter situation), but I think in this case the Chasseur had to wear a cloak, as represented on the similar Pegaso figure issued some years ago. I want say besides that's the first time I see the sword put on his belt hook, it's a true and correct way to keep the sword when the men were dismounted.
Best regards to all

They look to all be "safe subjects" that will equal sales for Andrea.~Gary

Good point Marcellin. It does appear the colpack (yes I mispelled it the first time) is a bit small or almost too "snug" against the figures head. Maybe it's just the angle of the photograph. It'll be interesting to see what this looks like in the flesh......I didn't even notice the sword being carried on the belt hook. It is a nice detail indeed.

GWTW.....I'll order that one without a doubt, The Napoleonics (my favorite by the way), I'll wait on these.

Hi Jim,
In the escort or service dress, Chasseurs when dismounted often put one belt of the saber on the hook shown here, to get up the saber from the ground. This way is almost never represented by producers. Using this dress, they did not carry sabretache.
Best regards
