These are from Bicorne miniatures. I don't know if they are Bicorne or Connoisseur figures. Bicorne carries Bicorne, Connoisseur and Firing line. Gringo 40s do Gendarme d'Elite too . As do Perry. Not sure if Front Rank do them. I painted these because they are classics and remind me of the Wargames Holiday Center. Go visit the WHC if you get the chance. They are in Berkshire, UK, not far from London. They have a web site.
I saw someone else painted them here

Check out these Horse Grenadiers (at the back) from another blogger. I must have some. They look great in sky blue capes.
Lace 'n Big Hats is a diary of my lead adventures. The title comes from a remark of Martin Rapier, a member of TMP. Lace 'n Big Hats aggregates historical periods such as the Lace wars, Seven years war, Napoleonic Wars etc, which had this elaborate dress as one common factor. I like the phrase so much I am thinking of using it as a name for a rule set I am working on. My historical interests are actually a bit broader, so I will be throwing in bits and pieces from WW2 and even the Modern era.
