French army of 1815

As it's nearly June 18th - anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo - what better time to tell you about a new range of Napoleonic French by star sculptors the Perry twins.
When Napoleon escaped from Elba to begin his comeback known as the 100 days campaign he was accompanied only by a small escort and he had to win his army back from Louis XVIII, his successor. Of course to a man like Napoleon this was an easy task but equipping and fielding an army large enough to defeat the array of powers ranged against him was an extremely difficult task and one that the war-weary French were surprisingly keen to assist him in doing. Anyway these figures are specifically designed to represent that short but bloody campaign - not in the finery often depicted but more likely in greatcoat and civilian clothing as demobbed soldiers returned to the colours. The Perrys look like they have done a fine job interpreting the uniforms of 1815 and capturing the period flavour by their usual meticulous research.
