Cheers chaps, sash & sabre hussar horses used.  I plan to use the guard lancer horses with the hussars, managed to get some mirleton heads from Andy at OGUK, need a bit of work on the saddlecloth, but should be good for a squadron of the Maria Luisa Spanish hussars.

Super work, the dappled grey is quite superb and the yellow on the lancer really pops. Really nice to see them. :)

Few gaps to complete with the infantry, then move onto the 4th Hussars and then Dragoons.

Brilliant. You’re going to have a really unique set of figures there. Nice conversions.

Thanks for the comments chaps, Ian, the conversions were done by Brian Rigglesford many years ago. Aiming to have a small collection loosely based on Suchet's campaigns in eastern Spain.

Paul ,
I should have realised as I remember that he’d done a lot of work for you - a major loss to the hobby and such a wasted talent - do you know what he’s up to now ?

Ian I have not heard from him for a number of years, it is a shame he dropped off the scene, such a talented man both with figures and buildings. Should just about have enough of his figures to make up a battalion march attack will also include standard S&S figures, and a mainly converted firing/adv battalion.  All in campaign dress.
