One of those threads that runs a real risk of making you drop everything and getting back to this period.
Absolutely wonderful. I'd be very grateful to see more of this collection in one place if that's possible?

Many thanks for all the kind comments. Sorry for the delay in responding, but it's been a busy morning.

I've got photos of all the figures in this unit, and I'm happy to post them. I don't have many photos of the other units, I'm afraid. It will be some time before I get round to taking any.

This dragoon unit is more interesting than some of my other units. To be honest, I'm finding it harder to get real individuality into the cavalry units, which I'm working on at the moment.

Anyway, here are 4 more figures. The dragoon in the first photo is passing a flask of wine or beer to the dragoon in the second photo. Pity this poor man - condemned to be forever reaching for a flask which he'll never get. The other two photos are of mounting dragoons.

Many thanks.

Here are a few rank and file. The horse in the first photo has bolted and the rider is struggling to stay on.

Stunning  :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

The final last two mega subtle highlights on the ponies are perfect.  8) Not something that is easily to achieved IMHO.

Sorry, I'm hopeless with this sort of thing. This was supposed to be the second photo attached to the previous post.
