| This is my attempt at converting a French Imperial Guard Grenadier to a Chasseur. The obvious difference is with the bearskin. The plate is absent from the front and there is no cap/pouch at the top, so the bearskin is domed rather than flattened. These were both filled and shaped with green-stuff. The other changes required are the removal of the four small eagles at the corners of the cartridge pouch, and the cuff flaps are removed from the arms. The lapels are pointed on the Chasseurs tunic as opposed to square on the Grenadiers. Fortunately due to the cross belts these can't be seen apart from the very bottom edge, which was cut straight. I just need to reshape the cuffs now and add a couple of buttons to each. |
