I've experimented by giving the trooper a dragoon musket, cut from the surplus Italeri infantry I use for conversion bits 'n 'bobs, although it looks like I've glued it a bit too high up on the saddle.
At the bottom are the 2 source pages I've used to base the figures on; the first from Uniformenkunde and the second from Histunif

Very nice indeed!!
ReplyDeleteNice work; dragoons really are the cavalry's workhorse (pardon the pun). Amazing detail on the flag. Regards, Dean
ReplyDeleteHi quality painting M. Rosbif. I particularly like the horse colours
ReplyDeleteLooking good mate. Where did you get the colour uniform plates from?
ReplyDeleteThanks all!
ReplyDelete@Steve - The links are in the text; Uniformenkunde and Histunif.
Seriously impressive stuff, especially at that scale.
ReplyDeleteYour work is okay when looked at closely, but they erally stand out great when at a distance. And your horses ARE good.
ReplyDeleteAlways liked those Italeri dragoons; never managed to finish more than a box though. Nice work, you've done a good job on them.
