The 3e régiment de cuirassiers fought at Austerlitz, Jena, Eylau, Friedland, Eckmühl, Essling, Wagram, as well as sending a detachment to Spain.

Useful walk through, Darrell

Excellent brush work, but I think you got the facings wrong

I'm happy with whatever you decide, Günter

As so often with these things, the information is either incomplete or contradictory. Still, 1812 is awash with sources in comparison to my normal field of research!

This link came from Bryce and, although showing a guards drummer, seemingly applied to those in line regiments as well: http://русские-витязи.рф/Uniform15 This site also mentions the drummers having red plumes (however, it does use the old pompom colours): http://www.museum.ru/1812/Army/RussInfanter...

I picked up the red plume from a link Bryce kindly sent my way. I'm away from home until Friday, but will see what I can dig out over the weekend

Very smart.

I'll ask these to save me making a mistake with my own project, so please shoot me down if I'm wrong.

Shouldn't the elite company drummer have a red plume?

Shouldn't half the elite company be sharpshooters, ie with different coloured pompous?

The look most splendid

Looking good

Thanks Günter, yes sixteen years-old!

The Russians are riding UNICORNS, now that is news, +2 for their horn at least :wink: :wink: :wink: Can you explain to a backwater Saxon what Horn you mean? :wink: :lol: I'm not sure I like the way this is heading! :lol: :lol: I've no problem with Foundry infantry (the cavalry look a bit odd), and ...

I going with a mix of Foundry and Perry, which seems to cover all my bases

As I already have Ledru's French 10th Division, and the start of Razout's 11th, I'm going to focus on Valutina-Gora, Günter.

So I'll kick off with the 3rd Infantry Division and see where that leads me

Many congratulations, Ray
