Six dragoons down and six to go and you'll have that unit of twelve.  Get along little doggie!

If I was rich I'd hire you to paint my entire 15 mm AWI collection - might keep you busy until you croak, too.  But, sorry, I 'tain't rich.  Heck, I'm not even Richard.

Beautiful minis. The paintjob is really nice, especially for 15mm where details can be trickier. I will follow this with great interest!

Beautiful work. I wish my 28mm faces were this crisp.
