I have finally painted this lovely set of French Guard Horse Artillery. They look rather dashing and were fun to paint:
I have some Guard Foot artillery which will be on the painting bench soon.

Every once in a while something pops up of interest and this set of French artillery was up for sale on eBay. Now, I already have quite a few French gunners but this set was a little different because the gun barrel has a tab with a catalogue number, F15 stamped on it.
I have not seen a number on Ros guns before, so this is an interesting find. The set came with the usual five crew figures and the gun, made up of four parts. I am tempted to paint this set, however, it would be a shame to snip off the tab with the number.
Painted as the 42nd Highland Regiment these figeres have been refurbished with a Ros Figures command group added:
As part of my renovation project I have just completed these Ros 25mm british infantry in stovepipe shakos, but painted them as Light Infantry c1815. The commander and standard bearer are by Minifigs.
Yesterday was the turn of some British troops to be refurbished and added to my updated 1815 allied Army.
The first unit is made up of 10 Ros British Riflemen, painted to represent the 60th Rifles. Ros did not produce a Rifles command, so I have added a bugler from Minifigs and an officer by Les Higgins. They are now ready to take to the field:
The second unit is a British Line Infantry battalion, again by Ros. All of the figures are Ros Miniatures:
