Well, my sisters moved out and put an offer on a flat, so normal service is resumed, except for all the time consuming Christmas socialising, I do want to try and clear the decks for the Analouge Painting challenge so here's another Austrian dragoon regiment, same formula as before, all Perry plastic, Austrian torso's, arms, crest less helmets, sword sheaths and carbines, overall legs from French and Austrian Hussars, except for the trumpeter, who as in all these units started out as either a French dragoon or French cuirassier trumpeter before changing sides! Horses from British light dragoons with their heads swapped for heavy cavalry bridles and greenstuff tail extentions. This is regiment no 6 Reisch with light blue facings, the flag is from the Perry set.
One more Austrian dragoon unit to come, with a rather more disparate set of mounts but that's some way off, running total of Napoleonic figures this year is 432, I'm hoping to at least get to 450, so more Napoleonics on the way or more terrain or both?!
All the best
Iain
I am really impressed with how you have created all these cavalry units from spare bits Iain - I have kept bags full of leftovers myself, but in all honesty, I doubt I will ever use any of it for anything useful!
ReplyDeleteAnother fine unit ingeniously put together. Lovely work as usual Iain.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful looking regimen!
ReplyDeleteDashing!
ReplyDeleteGood to see that normal painting service has resumed. "Time consuming Christmas socializing" made me laugh. I had grandkids' concert this morning, dinner with friends this evening and then more concerts on Sunday and Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteCracking dragoons Iain! Yes I will be avoiding the Christmas street party, which we are hosting, by going for a mtb ride this afternoon…
ReplyDeleteGreat kitbashing Iain, they look great and very nicely based as well. Like Keith I have plenty of bits but don't seem to have the nous to put them together like you do, great work.
ReplyDeleteI have a box of these tucked away for Christmas, so have taken a screenshot here to get the essence of that flag pole ….. which I generally find impossible to do!
ReplyDeleteNice one Iain. Ingenious use of the bits box.
ReplyDeleteExcellent use from multiple sources to come up with what you wanted Iain, hope the plans go well for clearing the deck ready for the challenge.
ReplyDeleteExcellent use of various bits and pieces there Iain:). Xmas will soon mean a full house here, so am in the process of clearing stuff up ready for our kids to arrive. At least I can get in the garage for some woodwork, which is very enjoyable and long overdue!
ReplyDeleteGreat work Iain keep them coming 👍
