The Old Guard Models

Recently I have acquired some French Imperial Guard models from old Esci 214 set as adition to the models from Zvezda I purchased as soon as they appeared.
Good thing about Esci set is that detail is not so deep as in Zvezda set, and can be easily removed with hobby knife, that makes these model good for modeling other troop types.

So, 3 brothers joined Napoleon army (all are made from the same base model). The oldest was the big and strong boy, so he was assigned to line infantry grenadier unit.
The other was good shot, so he was assigned to light infantry carabiniers.
The youngest one was accepted to the Old Guard, but as Guard Chasseur.

Next to them is their relative from the Old Guard Grenadiers (Zvezda).
