Another win against the pile-o-shame are the 6th Regiment of Dragoons for my 1815 Anglo-Allied force.
I painted the other units in the Union Brigade (1st Dragoons and 2nd Dragoons) over two years ago so these are very tardy - not usually a trait of British heavy cavalry.
The figures are all from Brigade Games sculpted by the very talented Paul Hicks.
I do find painting cavalry a chore, but at least the unit and brigade are now finished and my WIP backlog pretty much cleared in time for the Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge that starts on this coming Thursday.
Like the Exploring office, I had to use Testors "not very" Dullcote, but I now have some leads on some W&N Professional Matt varnish.
Some individual shots of the Dragoon stands showing the detail on these lovely Hicksy sculpts.
Lovely looking cavalry!

DeleteFantastic work
ReplyDeleteThank you Neil
DeleteVery nicely done. Funny that I had the same story about heavy dragoons waiting painted patiently in the box for a long time . Both of us have great deeds to see from our respective units. I had gotten Windsor &Newtown spray from Blick Art Supplies, if they're not near you they do web sales.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I was on the wait list for Blick but they did not message to say they were in stock. Have picked up a couple from Plaza that are on their way.
DeleteGorgeous! Who cares if they were tardy - they are worth waiting for :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you Paul
DeleteExcellent looking cavalry, however late! See you on the challenge!
