Some time ago now I painted 8 mounted French Dragoons for my Peninsula collection, along with their Officer.
Whilst playing a game of Sharp Practice the other week, my opponent wanted to use the unit as dismounted skirmishers, but I didn't have the relevant figures and so to my shame, we used French Voltigeurs as a stand in.
I looked in vain for dismounted Dragoons in campaign gear on the Web, so I decided to have a go at converting some of my own.
I'm no Michael or Alan Perry, but I'm fairly pleased with how these turned out. Greenstuff baggy trousers and helmet covers, and a paint job that hides a multitude of sins 😂
Of course, now I've gone to the bother of doing them, the Perry's will undoubtedly bring out a pack of these that I will of course purchase 😀
