3 RD Continental Cavalry and Tarleton's Legion

[kingsmt]

AWI Cavalry. My 3 RD Continental Cavalry, lead by William Washington. These were made from Helmet kits, some Britains AWI swoppet parts and Heralds/Britains horses.

Several of these came from The Barracks, a company that is no longer with us. I followed the pattern and made plenty of my own, using the same Helmet kits and Britain's horses.

I have most of the cavalry units units made and will post the rest of them later on.

These look fantastic with Britains AWI swoppets and Men of '76 troops.

I still have about a dozen more kits left to make.








Following up my 3 RD Continental Cavalry with their mortal enemies, Bloody Banastre Tarleton's Legion

Tarleton's Legion spread fear and hatred all through the Southern Campaign, until they were destroyed by William Washington's cavalry at Cowpens.

Once again, these are Helmet kits, Britains swoppet parts and Britains/Heralds horses. Most of these were obtained from the Barracks, except for 2, which I made from Helmet kits.

If you enjoy these pictures please leave a comment, so that I know that I'm not wasting my time or yours.
I would like to know what you think of these and my 54 mm figures in general. Thanks.

Very nice looking figures, thanks for the photos.

Tarleton's Legion horse did escape from Cowpens. They fought again at Yorktown and went into the bag with the rest of Cornwallis' army.

The displays are entertaining, of course, and I've been enjoying them though not commenting on all the threads.  However, I do wonder about your more traditional figures and their status but as long as you are enjoying yourself keep on going.

15's Away,  What do you mean by more traditional figures? The 28 mm stuff? I generally bounce back and forth between the two. Wen I get bored with one, I switch over to the other scale. I enjoy both.

Great stuff, 54mm the scale of true gentleman.
Wonderful old school feel , charming and innocence.
You could imagine Peter Cushing , Wells  , David Niven
, Terry Thomas pushing them around the living room floor, firing Britians cannons at them.
Bravo.
