Completed a unit of cavalry, a bit fiddly but well worth it. Lots of parts in the box, the horse is in five parts and the mounted figures in six. Multiply that by twelve and you have 132 pieces to deal with, a turn off for metal figure buyers for sure.
The set does not include a standard pole, so I used a cut down metal spear. It does however, have a couple of right arms with open hands, for the trumpeter and a standard bearer.
The unit doesn't have a name or designation number yet.
Just a simple base of a few small stones, flock and tufts.
Next up will be the crews for the six artillery pieces I have already built and painted. That will allow me to base them up.
Got here at last better late than never 😉 Very nice marra and with all those latest boxs you have enough for the rest of the year 😁.

Cheers buddy, I sure have plenty to paint lol. Welcome to the blog.
DeleteLooking very good! Great start on cavalry. Any special horse units planned?
ReplyDeleteThank you Charles, once each nation has some standard cavalry, then I shall add some heavies, with coal scuttle helmets, and may add some of the Tarleton heads I have spare from the AWI box set and create some hussars or light dragoons.
