Here's my completed regiment of the Italian 2nd Chasseurs for IV Corps using 3 separate kits; the riders' bodies from Italeri set
6080, heads from HaT 8095 and
8167, and horses from Italeri set
6008. The horses from the original set are butt-ugly and also have the wrong saddle furniture, so I used the lovely horses from the hussars set. The officer rides a horse from Italeri
6018, which has the correct shabraque, but isn't quite so animated as the rest of them!

Fantastic work there Ben. The trumpeter in particular is very fine.
ReplyDeleteI am reassured! I see and I hear him, charging at the top of his troops, leading a superb unit, painted by a master hand!
