Wonderful job Kerry.
That’s an excellent Bloody regiment and the whole collection hangs together really well  :-*

Cheers Richard, so nice to paint - I'm working on cavalry at the moment and will chase you for another regiment and some cavalry when they are released!

Excellent collection. A much more impressive foray into the ECW than my meagre efforts. My re-enactment mates from Pickering's Regiment will be pleased to see themselves in miniature.
Thanks

Have been a bit slower than expected having taken about 8 weeks to get these finished- I've had a cataract operation done and still have to wait another week before I can get new specs. I've managed to get some ECW cavalry done. I like using figures from several manufacturers though keep them in separate units. One unit each from Empress Miniatures, Bicorne Miniatures and First Corps
A mix of all 3. Standards by Flags of War

First up some Empress

Next First Corps whose horses seem very similar to Empress

Bicorne are a little bigger and here I have a mixed unit with both pistol and sword

Thanks all, have been taking part in the Analogue Hobbies painting challenge and got these finished in January


First up some Dragoons from Bicorne Miniatures



Then some Lifeguard from Bicorne





Then the Queen's Lifeguard and Queen's Regiment of Horse - or at least they are the Flags that I've given them!

Again Bicorne, either armed with pistol or sword along with some Empress Miniatures command







Whilst I enjoy Bicorne I do love the movement in Empress Miniatures horses



Finally Empress Cuirassiers




I do have some Bloody Miniatures that I'm really looking forward to starting next month and I think I may have another 24 Empress somewhere

Congratulations :)

Although I’m sure your services will be greatly missed by your community.

(But you could always start a miniatures business as a retirement project ;))

Congrats on retiring, Kerry! You'll finally be able to get a decent bit of painting done.

I am really impressed by all this large and very well painted cavalry. As you say you are retiring at the end of March, so I wish you a very happy retirement filled with many activities.  ;)
