Risorgimento Neapolitans

[streetgang]

I'm assuming the 1860s Italian range are best suited for Piedmont-Sardinia...what figures would be best for 1860s Neapolitans. I'm no expert, but their shako seems a bit higher than Piedmont shakos. Am I wrong, and if I am...what would be a good proxy for the Neapolitans? Thanks!

They do a French Voltigeur in shako (not 'new' range, 'old' range, bit finer, less detail than the 'new' voltigeur in Bonnet de Police) with a high shako which, at a pinch, might fit the bill. As it happens I've got a couple of regiments of them and since I have no intention of doing Risorgemento you are welcome to have them; PM me your address and I'll post them off this weekend.

Admitedly I did this period in 6mm, but I found 1860s Austrians to be the best stand-ins for Neapolitan troops.
