    1. Thanks Carlo. I am enjoying the plastics and the next batch of dimounted dragoons wil have a number of conversions - such an easy task with plastics.

    1. Thanks Phil. I think the dragoons are a very much overlooked cavalry type by most wargamers

    1. The next two regiments, to finish off the division, will have orange facings. I am picking that they will look pretty sharp too. Like the new avatar image by the way - should I be addressing you as General or Field Marshal Morrison hence fiorth?

  5. Love Napoleonic Dragoons, and the yellow faced regiments are my favourites. Great work.

    1. Yes it is a good mix. I didn't pick them by facing colour though, they just happened to be the regiment in the brigade that I Chose.

  6. Nicely done. The French dragoon green and yellow really works nicely as a combination.

    1. I agree. Yellow works as a facing for most colours - may be white excepted. I have some WSS Bavarians with cornflower blue coats and yellow facings and they look pretty dashing, I must say.

  7. Lovely looking dragoons, one of my favourite Perry plastics kits and one of my favourite napoleonic cavalry types!
    Best Iain
