French Revolution Drums…..

 I have decided to build my French Revolutionary Regiments for the Analogue Painting challenge this year, so research has fully commenced! While I was at the Musee de l’Armée a few weeks ago for the first time I have really looked at the revolution equipment so a number of photos were taken and the rest from all over the place bought together for my research. I do not think I will get to some of the detail but an indicator of what a drum looked like will suffice, the red white blue hoops, and white cords and an indication of a non brass background of some description I suspect! Enjoy another dive down the rabbit hole! 













Cheers

Matt

Very interesting variations there, nice to see them, not something I have thought too much about but very interesting.

I am always thinking about little things….the devil is in the detail
