I've finished a few more dragoons; repaints of an evilBay purchase. They came out quite well:-
The elite company (below) really should have red epaullettes, but I won't tell, if you won't. Need to highlight those tassles...
I really love the contrast between green of the uniforms, and the red of the facing colour.

I had a spare figure left over from the last unit, which I've painted as an officer (below). Ideally I'd like another 4 dismounted minis, and in a perfect world, 4 horse holders and 16 mounts. I'd like to think I'll have a brigade of dragoons, at some stage...

Just returning from my local hobby supplier with a Perry metal Dragoons reinforcement (FN 142). I agree, the red facing is great indeed, I will discard the yellow that was my initial idea.
ReplyDeleteHi Anibal, I didn't know they did metal ones; I shall have a look!
ReplyDeleteGreat looking figures!
ReplyDeleteI'm currently painting some Strelets 1/72nd foot dragoons, and while the detail is good, they're nothing compared to these beauties! You've done a great job on them, too.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your assessment of the facing colours; I've also gone for this scheme for both my mounted and dismounted dragoons
Hi Rosbif, yes was admiring your foot dragoons last week. I think it impressive how detailed today's plastics are, and thopught they looked great.
ReplyDeleteI have been admiring these, too; a different take:-

Always liked the idea of French dragoons on foot (especially is my Russian heavy cavalry can get at them!!!). Cool figures
