    Great stuff, Mark! Every time you produce more horse units, I think more about rebasing mine in threes.

      Thank you Jonatha...there will be some relief for you soon from any rebaseing thoughts because the next regiment of horse will be the last I will do before September!

      ...and the dismounted versions are almost complete too! Except that the officer and standard bearer will have to wait until I ordr a couple of command sprues. A very busy week this way - work and social - so things will slow down a little.

      Thanks Iain. I am ready for the next regiment now that looks almost identical...sane facings but different number.

    It feels like I was only away from the computer for a day, during which time you managed to complete two fine-looking 1812 additions. I love these dragoons.

      Yes it was a productive weekend. I am about half way through the dismounted versions then it is back to the 30th Regt to round out the division.

    Great looking additions to the French 1812 collection - we will have to think of some opposition for them Mark! I am sure they could take on the British or Austrians....or of course, you already have Prussians and Russians, don't you?!

      I don't think we will have a shortage of opponents...Russians, Prussians, Austrian, British, Swedes (eventually). I have a scenario for a BIG Napoleonic scrap later this year.
