REGIMENT NORMANDIE - FRANCE 1706 (Version 2023)

 As everything in life also my papersoldiers are going through a face-lifting trying to increase their quality. I am now facing a future project of cooperation with a Museum where to prepare a diorama of part of the Battle of Turin with my mapersoldiers. This means I have to focus on this topic more than others having at my disposal - let's say - 3 years.

So I started to revisit my previous French Infantry Regiment Normandie. I have already finished it, so I will not use this template, but this will be the template for the further French regiments present at the Battle of Turin in 1706.

Everything has been improved and the details are now much more evident. If the normal infantry papersoldiers will be not substituted by the new version, by sure I will change the Grenadiers. In one of my previous post I stated that also the French Grenadier during the WSS had a fur headgear. After more detailled researches I changed my opinion and now I will represent the Grenadiers with tricorne (I am now totally sure of it) just with a big bag in front of him, as it was.





On the left a Fusilier on the right a Grenadier. Still I represented the Grenadier in the marchin pose as all the WSS units done till now, even though I have doubt if to represent it in a sort of dynimic poses.
