Field defences FSD 1s and FSD 2s Chevaux de Fruise and Stakes

I unexpectedly acquired these recently along with an S Range Napoleonic Austrian Army.

If you studied your S Range catalogue carefully you could find a section called Miscellaneous, which contained goodies including camp followers, generals of different periods, pack horses and oxen, and Napoleon sat at a table.

The above are FSD 1s and FSD 2s, Horse and Musket Period Field Defences, Chevaux de Frise - 60mm length at the back of the photograph - and Stakes - 55mm at the front.

These are heavy lumps of metal and I had never seen them before.

FSD 3s and 4s were gabions and fascines.

I need to repaint the bases to my standard Vallejo Intermediate Green to go with the rest of the army, which I rebased over the Christmas holiday on MDF pauinted in this colour.

N 1s Napoleon seated at table

Looking for all the world like someone who has gone off like Achilles to sulk in his tent only to finf like Sherlock Holmes that someone has nicked his tent, this characterful seated Napoleon lurks in catalogues and lists under "Staff Figures -all periods mounted" which is why it can be hard to find there.
