AB and BH French Carabiniers - compatible?
Post-1809 French Carabiniers (cavalry) in helmets - can you mix AB and Battle Honours? I have a feeling the BH ones are among the last French figures done for BH by Tony Barton; however, the AB ones are also among the last French figures he did for AB. So a fair amount of potential for scale creep..... Pictorial comparisons would be useful, but I'm a trusting sort of chap and prepared to take a fellow forum-member's word. Many thanks in advance. RtL (ps: I've tried Old Glory - yuk!!!!)

Ronan, In a word, no,i would stick to the AB These are the boys you want :wink: Regards,

Ronan, I can get you a few Caribineers tomorrow if you want to send over to check out the size or put them next to a ruler for you? Let me know. JB PS - would tend to agree with Craig - BH are just a lottery in terms of casting quality and size.

JB, That's very kind of you. Unfortunately, since they crossed the Atlantic, photos of BH figures seem almost impossible to come across. A pic with a ruler beside the figures would be fine, if it's not too much trouble (and I'm not misinterpreting what you were offering). I'm really just looking for a bit of variety - the AB figures are lovely, as Craig points out. Craig, Nice paint job - thanks for sharing that. RtL

Thanks to both for your replies and follow-up. RtL
