Stormtrooper’s new 75mm Chasseur

[Cannonball]

Does anyone know what regiment/period the Chasseur from the new Stormtrooper’s/Troop 54 kit belongs to? Can’t quite decide from the painting on which it’s based if the facings are the same colour as the breeches and is that colour a yellow or chamois colour. As for period it’s obviously Napoleonic but is it Revolutionary/Early Napoleonic as the rather ornate sabretache on what looks like an undress uniform makes me think it is.
At the risk of these questions sounding a bit pedantic, is their anyone who can help?

Thanks

Can’t quite decide from the text on which it’s based what you are speaking about, just had a look at Troop54 range and no Chasseur ...
Picture please or part N°

It was released at the White Rose Show a couple of weeks ago and you are correct it doesn't yet appear on the Stormtroopers website.

It is possible that Stu sold out at the show and is supressing demand until he can cast a fresh batch.

It is based on this painting Mirofsoft. I even wondered whether it was an early Guard Chasseur (Consular) but the cuffs aren’t red/aurore.

Well, a retired one ... long time after the period ... a veteran wearing what's left of past glory

Bonnet is Stable duty
Jacket and gilet are " tenue de ville " ( town ) cuff perhaps aurore ( light ochre with a touch of red rubed of by sun and rain )
Pants are the one used on horse on campaign ( cream )
And sabretache looks like consulat period, something like : https://www.bertrand-malvaux.com/fr...-la-garde-des-consuls-consulat-1802-1804.html
And epaulette looks like what NCO were wearing ...


Or not ...

A little better picture ...hopefully !

Great subject and of course you do not have to keep to the ref details like cuffs
