Sudan. 5th (Royal Irish) Lancers.

Inspired by the interesting uniform depicted in the Caton Woodville illustration of the Royal Irish Lancers, here are the first three of a squadron of twelve. These are Perry AZW Lancers with some uniform detail removed with a sharp blade and a little greenstuff added to form the paggri on the helmet. Painted up in a plain blue frock, Bedford Cord  riding breeches and a paggri in the regimental facing colour.

  2. I was wondering if you had considered the Empress MInitures lancers for this project. They are (also) very spirited sculpts.

  3. Yes we did (these chaps are heading towards a friend/client's collection), but we are both very fond of Perry Victorian sculpts even though we are fans of Hicks sculpts. Also, the Perry horses were more to our taste.
