Amazing stuff, well done! 

Will you do any irregular Swedish cavalry, like the Vallacks (Swedish Vallacker)?

A good progress for Swedes, Poles and Russians, indeed!
You are making good mixes of different makes, all the sculpts are very nice!
Eager to see these units finished! Cheers!

Thanks very much guys, really appreciate the support. Traveller, I did a unit of irregulars to use as Vallachs a while back, but not having any idea of the clothing I essenitially did them as semi-uniformed Polish light cavalry, will dig out a picture. Does anyone have any further information?

I find the Vallack regiment interesting since there are no information about their dress or origin. The name Vallack can either refer to that they were riding gelded horses (”Vallack” translates into ”Gelding”) or that they originated from the Wallachia region in todays Romania. This would give you a lot of freedom in conversions mixing eastern european or cossack attire with maybe some Swedish uniform details.

Cheers, so I actually used Warlords Croats with a couple fo Foundry Poles and gave the unit a blue grey colour scheme to tie it together rather than doing it enitrely irregular. Not a greta picture bt you get the idea.
