This is a unit of Uhlans ,regiment no 1 Merveldt for the 1809 campaign based on the left over Perry plastic British light dragoons in the later uniform with overalls mounted on Warlord ECW plastic horses and with a mixture of Victrix and Warlord lancers arms. Their czapkas are more campaign look,more like this Rick Scollins illustration
The next unit will have full dress .
I always liked the rather business like uniform of the Uhlans. I might well use this unit as the Brunswick Uhlans for an 1809 campaign Ive been thinking of depicting the duke of Brunswicks small force fighting its way to the coast, I already have the French provisional dragoon unit and have three primed Westphalian infantry units, its more should I use my nephews Peninsular Brunswick units or should I go with 1809 correct units? Currently on a train journey from London to Marrakesh, so comments might be sporadic!
Not sure what next?
All the best
Iain
