Vallejo colours for French Napoleonic figures?

Message par selaurant » dim. 16 févr. 2020 00:46

Hello. I have a lot of old Revolutionary and Empire French figures from when I played Napoleon's Battles back in the 1990s. I need to fill in a few gaps to get my armies ready for BE. I have a lot of Vallejo paints I have used on WWII and modern figures in recent years.

Question does anyone have a guide as to what Vallejo colours would be best for French infantry and cavalry uniforms for 15mm and 28mm figures?

French blue coat colour?
White trouser colour?
Rifle stock colour?
Red cockade colour?
Dragoon green colour?
Yellow braid colour?
Typical horse colours?

Thanks for help.

A further few questions on this:

Napoleonic (French) canons:
Vallejo 881 Yellow Green for the painted timber work?
Vallejo 801 Brass for the barrel?
