    An impressive collection, I'm sure they find it easier to whip up a gallop when they're not pulling any guns, but come on, where's the rest? ;o)

      Hi Rob, I posted pics of the guns and crews a few years ago, I now feel like I need to re-base them to match the towing teams. When I used to work for a living this is what we called an emergent strategy. Will edit my post to show the business end!

      Thanks for the gun line photos - but what do you mean by re-basing to match? They look pretty similar to me.

    All the best. Aly

      Thanks Aly, I'm hoping to get a couple more British teams finished soon, but a bit short of driver figures. I've got some dubious home cast Light Dragoons in Tarletons which I might be able to convert. Watch this space.

      Drag racing? I'm sure these guys were secure in their masculinity wearing these FABULOUS costumes.

      Guys? Take a closer look next time you see the King's troop out on duty.

      I'm fairly sure that early 19th C recruiting policy wasn't as inclusive as today. But having read Terry Pratchett's "Monstrous Regiment" I could be wrong.
