Continental Light Dragoons

The 3rd Light Dragoons to be precise. Added to my AWI expansion project over the last week or so of disrupted hobby activity. These are the Perry sculpted Foundry figures, a part of my lost and replaced mail order from late October time. I really like the figures I have to say, they are nicely animated and paint up really easily. Oh, and they were not covered in endless fine vent runs!

I recently took advantage of Foundry’s 'Buy 16 Get 6 Free' Christmas Sale to buy, amongst more SYW figures, two more British infantry units. They will go into the Lead Pimple for next year sometime.

      Thanks for the encouragement Matt. Not really scary I think myself, just a bit of painting after all. How are the tiny chaps working out?

      I loathe cleaning up figures myself, Perrys are far and away the worst. These chaps are Foundry though so not too bad.
