Aides de camp are always a challenge to paint correctly. Was there a standard uniform? Yes, but it was so often tinkered with that a French aide de camp in regulation dress must have been an unusual sight. I had to really dig into my sources to find information on actual dress of these colorful fellows.
These 16 figures come from a few different AB codes, but most are from the new "ADCs in Action" pack.
Lovely work. Brig Peter Young's "napoleon marshals" has a number of color plates of aides to the Marshals, in all the colors of the rainbow. There are quite a few at the beginning of the Funken 1st volume on the Napoleonic Wars, too.
ReplyDeleteJust need an aide to Murat in amaranth and white! :-)
I used the Funken for many of these!
DeleteI don't want to both with Murat. :-)
