WIP Flanqueur- grenadier of the Guard 1813

[Viking Bob]

This one I have painted before but was not happy with the result, so out came the Dettol. This is about 3/4 done and it requires a bit more touching up.
I have the back pack to do, as well as the cartridge box and the musket.
I did some research and came across an article by the Napoleonic association. This went into detail of the cloth ordered by the regiment. It would appear that the facings were yellow on the collar and cuffs. This was backed up by period prints. I will give the website detail when my internet connection resumes.
On to the photos.
