Six of one, half a dozen of the other

Here are my French Guard Lancers, 1 x FN41 Guard Lancer Trumpeter, 2 x FN40 French Guard Lancer Officer, 2 x FN40 converted to lancers holding lance upright, plus 7 x unidentified lancers with couched lance. I think the unidentified ones might actually be Austrian Uhlans, the bases have been filed smooth so can't see any catalogue numbers. I have pinched an idea from Mark of the Ilkley Old School blog and painted half as Polish Lancers and half as Dutch, I don't believe that's too much of a stretch as I think I read somewhere that they where brigaded together at Waterloo?

A mixed bag

Been busy painting over the last couple of months but haven't got round to posting on the blog, so here's a bit of a catch up.

British 7th Hussars, a mix of HH OPCs, HH KGL hussars with the peaks filed off the headgear, plus some Lammings to make up the numbers.


Coldstream guards ( or at my level of paining detail, a generic British regiment with blue facings!)


The 33rd foot (West Riding of Yorkshire regiment)


And finally, I converted a couple of Fusilier officers to ensigns and did a head swap on a Newline drummer to add a command stand to my 23rd fusiliers.
