Napoleonic 3rd Ligne fifer 15

I decided to use a smaller base for this figure. A fence was added to the setting.

Hussards de la Liberte trompette 1797

An old figure first made in 1993. I've decided to spruce him up a bit.

Cheshire Militia Bass Drummer 2

I substituted another head for this piece. Wires were inserted into the figure for arms and to attach the drum.

Dragon ACW Union Inf (2)

I decided to assemble all the figures in this set, substituting Wolf miniatures muskets for the plastic pieces. Also started to add details here and there to improve the figures.

Dragon ACW Union Inf

Dragon produced this limited run set of 4 ACW infantry figures in 1/32 scale. I've decided to fix up one of the figures with some small improvements to see how it would fit into my burgeoning collection. The substituted rifle is from Wolf Miniatures.

Cheshire Militia Bass drummer

I've always wanted to do this piece, based on a painting in the Natl Arm Museum, Chelsea.

The Spanish in Louisiana 2

I've decided to update this piece as the original paint was discolouring. The figure was removed from its stand and is now being repainted.

Napoleonic 9th Ligne Regt Drum Major

I finished painting the figure. A very good sculpt and pose from a Russian casting.

Historex Napoleonic conversions (2)

I did further conversions, adding more details to the following pieces.

Jesus piece (4)

I added some foliage and completed the painting on this piece.

Historex Napoleonic conversions

1st Hussars trumpeter.

Joachim Murat, King of Italy

Prince Josef Poniatowski

Horse Marine (5)

After checking through my references, the trooper is wearing laced leggings instead of cavalry boots. I substituted an Airfix Afrika Korps set of modified legs to represent this.

The sword was a Historex spare and the gun was an Airfix spare. The saddlery and legs are being modelled accordingly.

This overhead picture shows that the sword and gun sticks out diagonally from the sides towards the back of the horse.

FFL Trumpeter

I had made this figure at the same time as the FFL kettledrummer. The head and boots were taken from an old 1/35 Verlinden figure and mounted onto a Historex horse. I may update this piece soon.

The Spanish in Louisiana

A converted figure from Airfix and Historex parts made in 1993. The stand was a pencil stand, covered with Roccoco pictures from a glossy magazine.
