I suspect that the buttons might be slightly oversized, but these look very nice to me. I'm no expert on this period.

This is basically OK,as a representation of their full dress, but the shako needs some attention. It's too big around the headband, and so looks clumsy on him. DiD had the same problem when they made"Frank", a basic Nap infantryman many years ago.
The actual field dress was rather simpler, with trousers and often a greacoat instead of the habit long, and a waterproof cover on the shako.
I do realise it's very difficult to make things look sharp and smart in scale , but I think they could improve it. The sleeves are also too loose : at this period they were really rather tight.
By the photos it looks as though they re going to make a 12pdr gun to go with him. I hope they've taken the trouble of going to Paris and measuring the original in Les Invalides.

The image of this in my mind made me smile. Thanks for your comments on the accuracy of the rendition.
