I had a few spare shot from the main regiments left over and had bought a box of the Perry ECW dismounted dragoons. With some hacking and shaving, then some greenstuff into bunnets these guys were born. Some of the hats look a wee bit big but they were probably supplied from a street trader in the Barras.
When not deployed as dragoons, they can form the body of a commanded shote unit, with the spare command I have from Buchanans. Perry's Dragoons are really nice - the two crouching guys in particular are great sculpts.

ReplyDeleteThanks fellas - was a nice sunny day here in Houston yesterday. Mind you sometimes the sun is so hot you can't pick up figures without getting burnt!
