Poste Militaire Orleans Cavalry

[Cannonball]

Just wondering if anyone would happen to have and be able to post up the original instructions/colour schemes for the Poste Militaire Officer and Trumpeter Orleans Cavalry. Appreciate there are a few painted versions that can be seen on the internet and one or two part pictures of the instructions I’m referring to but just need to make sure I’m using the right colour schemes.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ps: Had a quick look at the kits (Bonapartes) and see that the trumpeters horse has only the one standing leg with a metal lug on the base of the hoof to slot into a whole in the base. I’m just wondering from those who’ve tackled this kit in the past, is it going to need pinning?-there’s only a short distance from the hoof/ankle before the leg bends so not sure if pinning would make a great deal of difference. Any thoughts....

Hi Neal, in my opinion the trumpeter is a well balanced kit and unlikely to topple . I have one several years old and no problem. You Will have problems with the officer unless you support the front foot.
