The uniforms are based on research in a newish book Dawson's Napoleon's Imperial Guard the Infantry.

Where he says: 

 

From this it is clear that the flanqueur's uniform was green with chamois facings.
Chamois was also the facing colour for voltigeurs in the line, and is a distinct
colour of a pale yellow/beige shade, as opposed to the yellow used by the voltigeurs
of the Guard. The only scarlet cloth issued was for the tail facings and linings in milled serge.

Therefore, Knoetel and Jouineau are wrong in ascribing scarlet piping. The facings
of the tails were clearly scarlet milled serge with chamois piping. The regiment's
archive confirms what the period iconography shows: chamois collar and cuffs.

So rather than having green cuffs piped yellow (or red) they are painted with yellow - or chamois cuffs.  

There's a wonderful representation of these units over on this blog, where they also chose to represnt officers in green too - so effectively only low ranking officers. 

Two Brigades of 28mm French Infantry for Sale - plus skirmishers. Mostly Essex, some Perry sculpts from Foundry

My clear out continues -

These are figure I painted a long while ago  - many of them in my teens.  I loved he Essex figures, they seem so much better than the Hinchcliffe ones I had grown up with.  Then along came War-games Foundry and those fab Perry sculpts.

28mm Landsknechts Swiss Wars Pike Unit and Handgunners

I think these are mostly Wargames Foundry, first painted because I fancied the challenge - then expanded into a unit bit by bit through picking up the odd figures here and there. I think I was working on the unit to catch up with some club members who were way ahead. Never did get it ready in time for the game they were planning.

Mostly painted by me - about 10 or so handgunners were picked up on ebay painted but unbased, although I also added a few flicks of the brush to these before varnishing and basing.

The flags are also handpainted -  I'm no expert on this era  (didn't even do basic buying for research) so I think I was just after  general effect. If you can identify them please let me know.  The pikes hurt.
