Lately not much has been going on hobbywise but I managed to finish two subjects.
First is a unit of AWI British 17th Light Dragoons:
These will be the mounted arm of my AWI British army for Black Powder. I also plan to convert these figures to Loyalist Legion cavalry.
Last but certainly not least is the first stand featuring the latest HÄT testshots. Here it concerns the Chasseurs sets. I received all 3 new sets for painting and they are absolutely fabulous! To me these chaps represent the proto-typical French Napoleonic soldier. They have it all: brilliant shako complete with cords and plume, both sabre and bayonet and of course very VERY nice and crisp sculpting and details. There was a little flash and some undercutting but this is only to be expected at this stage of the production. I have enough troops, combined with some recently released voltigeurs and carabineers, to create 2 large Black Powder regiments. One marching and one firing. The former will be my representation of the Isembourg regiment of which you can see the first stand (including Sapeur).
