I say, what larks! It appears that some of the keen young chaps from the country set think it a wizard wheeze to purloin their fathers' old cavalry gear, purchase some firearms and take to the field in their hunting pinks!
And thus the Herefordshire Hunt Hussars is born - ready to flush out any wrong doers and bad sorts and run them down!

The last dregs of my birthday money went towards a box of Perry Miniatures plastic ACW cavalry. I've changed their kepis into riding helmets with a little Greenstuff and rather haphazardly added some snippets of metallic sticky tape for coat tails.

What a great idea! :o
-
Cute idea well executed. No hunting dogs?
-
Not yet - does anyone do beagles in 28mm?
-
As always JP spot on! I might have some of the old Mega Miniatures fox hounds, if they will work?

Looking good, but don't forget only staff & select wear pinks, so you'll need members in blue. Also for 1930s you might have quite a few top hats too.

Now I can manage riding hats, but sculpting top hats is beyond me! :D I take your point, but couldn't resist a unit all in red ;)

Yeah, I think they might do the trick...

How big is the unit?
Would any of the ACW slouch hats convert to toppers?
Brims might be a bit wide, but careful trimming might do it.

I've done them as a unit of 5 - the size of cavalry specified in the 'went the day well' rules, and, frankly enough fiddling for me! :)
-
Yes, MegaMinis made a set of seven beagles and a foxs.
I painted this:

Nice paintjob! I'll keep an eye out for some here in Blighty.

I forgot to say: *love* the hussars. I should post my Col Marbles conversion on a pony, in pink.
