Trent Miniatures: Later French Revolutionary Wars Negro Musicians


Northstar Miniatures: New pack from Trent Miniatures. More bandsmen & Drum Majors to follow very soon. These splendid chaps are based on members of the British First and Third Foot Guards bands, drawn in Paris in 1815, shortly after the Battle of Waterloo. 

But musicians uniforms in most armies were according to the Colonel's taste and not subject to regulations, so you could paint these fellows any colour you like and put them in any regiment in any army from Marlborough's time well into Victorian times, and still escape the "Fashion Police"!
