French Line Cavalry

In the shape of more Eureka Miniatures for my Wars of the French Revolution collection, also part of the Salute pre-order from two years ago. I had intended that Phil would paint these for me, but with lockdown curtailing our freedom of movement I decided I'd better tackle them myself, buoyed up by the generally warm reception my efforts at O'Donnell's Frei-korps received. I found an illustration of the 20th cavalry from 1795 showing them with rose pink facings so I decided to go with those. The flag is a modified free download from a French website, now defunct I think, and the bases are sabots and movement trays from Warbases. A few pictures which I hope will give an impression of the look of the unit ~

In the end they turned out to be less fiddly than I had feared, although the poses of one or two of the ones piece castings of the rank and file caused me some overpainting in correcting smudges where I'd caught details inadvertently. After these were completed, as my latest order for more Dixon Miniatures ACW figures had still not arrived, I cleaned up and undercoated some of the cavalry from my last order. Some New York cavalry I think.
