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.
Superb work again Mark!
ReplyDeleteThey have come out a real treat.
Looks good.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if you had considered the Empress MInitures lancers for this project. They are (also) very spirited sculpts.
ReplyDeleteYes 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.
