The bank holiday provided the perfect opportunity to deal with one of the biggest projects of the plastics revival. I decided to tackle most of the French cavalry. They were in a bit of a state and some needed a bit of repair work and all required rebasing. In all I found nine regiments. Here they are en masse:
Two regiments of dragoons (Italeri):
Two regiments of Airfix Cuirassiers:HaT lancers and Italeri hussars:
HaT Guard Marmelukes and Horse Grenadiers:
And Italeri Cuirassiers:
There are another three or four regiments to paint, but these require quite a bit of work.
That's a nice big French cavalry force Bob - I always liked the Airfix Cuirassiers set
ReplyDeleteThanks MJT. The Airfix figures are rather charming, but a pig to set up. As you may notice, I have used metal pins to keep them in place. The cavalry will be spread across three French formations, with a cavalry reserve.
DeleteLovely looking cavalry, they look great, well worth the work I would say. I liked the Airfix Curassiers as well but as you say an absolute pig to set up. Looking forward to the next instalment of your plastic project.
ReplyDeleteThanks Donnie. The next part of the project will be some Bavarians.
