To be truthful, it is well worth looking for a book or books on the subject of the Napolionic Wars as there are many available, which will assist you in getting all of the different colours that composed the 'Guard' Uniform.

The Imperial Guard figures look really imposing when painted and are one of the best known of the French Forces.

You may care to look at the Osprey Books which offer excellent value for money.

Good luck in your first project.

Hi Miley46,

I would suggest you ask your question over on Historicus Forma, Armorama's historical miniature sister site. (You can use your Armorama user name and password to login). With the greatest of respect to Amorama's tankies and diorama-ists, we tend to be more specialised in the figure field.

Hope to see you there.
