Tidying up?

Figures, that is.

It's a mix of things. Waiting for the moulds to arrive it seemed to be a good idea to start looking at outstanding items - unbased figures, figures needing a paint touch up, etc.

First off, started on doing some of the Prussian lancers. I haven't tried to add any other details, for example reins or buttons, etc, just kept them 'as was' and painted over areas of paint loss.

Bugler's a bit of a weird pose. Likewise, officer's sword a bit iffy. Other than that, they'll do.

And I haven't tried to look up if they are meant to be specific units. If I did, it would probably tempt me to add more detail!

Meanwhile, working on basing some more Egyptians, Assyrians and Indians...

1897 Lancers and Cuirassiers

First of the Irregular Miniatures cavalry. These are very different in style to the Spencer Smith figures - have to admit, I prefer the Irregular horses. On the other hand, with the Spencer Smith website you can link directly to a particular page.

 
The Lancers are serving as generic British Lancers - they're actually Prussian Uhlans but the only really noticeable difference is the lack of a plume. Closest Regiment would probably be the 9th.

The French Currasiers are likewise quite generic - fact is, don't know enough about them to be specific. Saddlecloth may be wrong for rank and file - pictures suggest plain for these, blue edged with red for officers - prefer the blue/red combo so...

And this is a comparison between Spencer Sith and Irregular cavalry figures. Important thing being they are basically compatible.
