I've posted a few close-up photos of the dragoons, particularly the Elites, which I painted myself, and which I'm particularly pleased with. I converted the minis by giving them epaulettes, which was quite easy, what with them being plastics, and all.
The below stand, with a casualty figure worked out quite nicely, too; something about the way they are stepping, gingerly, past the body.
Finally, with the below pic, I suspect the original painter cut down a musket, and used the arm with the slung musket from the Victrix line infantry set.
I've spent the last few nights sticking together 42 more Victrix Garde Chasseurs (a 4th battalion). Nice minis...
Thanks Ray, I'm glad you reminded me that I'd not finished the posting!
ReplyDeleteyour Dragoons must be in Spain given the Skirmisher stand casualty figure:-) cool touch by the seems to be big over in Scotland as well. PS I prefer this napoleonic Blog by the way. Have you read David Gates - Spanish Ulcer? very good book!
ReplyDeleteVery nice, Simon! I especially like the composition of the casualty stand.
ReplyDeletegood work on these.
