Another one down. This time its the 17th Light Dragoons mounted and dismounted, to bolster the ranks of the now completed British brigade. Resplendent in their red coats, white facings, cuffs, and smallclothes.
The cavalry are from the Italeri 6044 British Light Cavalry Set and are superb figures, despite the inaccuracy's noted in the PSR review, and which inspired a better finish because the detail was there.
Painting chevrons in 20mm - OMG!
But this brings us to the dismounted troops and these are from the B and B Miniatures AR17 Light Dragoons Dismounted set. They are a very different style from the plastics and are essentially the same posed figure with different head and arm/musket positions.
Having had doubts before they were painted because of the style, I like them. You get 12 in a pack which is perfect for a small Black Powder unit of dismounted troops, and they are they only dismounted 17th dragoons of this period you can get in 20mm. So, good stuff BnB!
The guidon (flag) is a MS Word conversion from a Google search and am reasonably sure its the guidon for the second squadron, but that's pretty much it for getting a game together, just a couple of British command bases to go, which are already half finished, and its all ready.
