This is the second of the two uhlan units, both based on the Perry plastic later British light dragoon bodies ( including command and trumpeter) in overalls and double breasted tunics with this unit in full dress Victrix czapkas from the Polish Guard cavalry set and some arms from them as well , a couple have ended up with wire lances and paper pennons. They've got knapsacks, which is non standard for Austrian cavalry but I think they're close enough!
Uhlan regiment no 2 Shwarzenberg or maybe not? I was working off these two illustrations but after painting the top of the czapkas red I actually think its Uhlan regiment no 3 archduke Charles, Im not going to repaint them so in spite of them needing a droopy plume I'll live with them as they are!
They're mounted on the ubiquitous Warlord ECW horses, I think the saddles look close enough to the first illustration? I buy loads of these horses when Warlord have sprue sales. Primed in black and the usual slap dash paint job, we aim for adequate and largely achieve it!
Next up? Not sure, more Great Italian wars,an AAR or terrain, not sure!
All the best
Iain
