More French Chasseurs for 1859 Project

Mobilizing hot on the heels of the French 10th Chasseur Battalion is a two stand battalion of the 11th Chasseurs.  Figures are Old Glory available from 19th Century Miniatures. 

One curiosity of the Old Glory chasseurs is that some of the figures' anatomy remind me very much of Dave Allsop's sculpting style.  Dave was an early sculptor for Old Glory and produced well animated figures having a distinctive style.  For me, the hands suggest Dave's influence.  Many of my 15mm Napoleonics are Allsop sculpts.  After having painted hundreds of the Napoleonics, one begins to appreciate each sculptor's style.  Although Old Glory's FPW range was designed by another sculptor, I wonder if some of Dave's original works were used as models?  Pure conjecture on my part.

Only after photographing the figures did I notice a failure of the flocking to adhere on the rear stand in the photo above.  Sigh.  I quick trip back into the box of flock for you!

Showing great restraint, I managed to pass on BTD's latest 50% discount offering.  Restraint aided by the fact that I still await a backorder from their earlier such sale!
