Napoleonic French Infantry Soldier with Shako 75mm Resin Figure Kit

About This Kit

This 75mm resin figure kit captures a Napoleonic-era French infantryman in full regulation dress uniform. The soldier stands at attention in a composed parade stance, holding his musket at port arms across his body. Fine details define the period uniform, including the distinctive tall shako headgear with wrapped cord binding, fitted tunic with visible button detail, cartridge box across the chest, and long trousers tucked into gaiters. A sword hangs at his side, completing the equipment typical of early 19th-century French line infantry.

The 75mm scale provides excellent opportunity for fine painting and detailing work. The resin casting captures crisp uniform elements, fabric folds, and equipment with realistic proportions. Assembly will require careful preparation and painting to bring out the subtle modeling of the uniform's seams, stitching, and accoutrements. The upright pose and formal bearing of the figure lend themselves well to display or diorama placement.

This kit is ideal for Napoleonic enthusiasts building period dioramas, military history collections, or figure display cases. The straightforward uniform and confident posture make it an excellent centerpiece for Waterloo or Peninsular War battlefield scenes, or simply as a standalone representation of French martial prowess during the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars.

Painting & Assembly

This kit arrives unassembled and unpainted, giving you complete creative freedom. We recommend using cyanoacrylate (super glue) for resin assembly. Clean parts with warm soapy water before priming. Use a quality resin primer before painting with acrylics or enamels. Pin larger joints for a stronger bond.
