Napoleonic French 2nd Hussar: Marechal-des-logis Standard Bearer

I painted the Standard Bearer from Strelets 096 Napoleonic French Hussars. This set has some inaccuracy, such as incorrectly having saddlecloths for other ranks instead of shabracks, but I could bear with that to a certain degree.


I used this as reference: Andre Jouineau, Officers and Soldiers of the French Hussars, 2nd Vol. From the 1st to the 8th Regiments 1804-1812 (Historie & Collections, Trans. Alan McKay)(2006). The above image is on page 34, Marechal-des-logis Standard Bearer of the 2nd Hussar in 1805. According to the description, this is copied from a plate in "le Plumet" by Rigo.










I did not follow the reference and painted the sabretache the regular way.
