Off We Go Again!

I took a much needed break from painting figures over the Christmas-New Year period. What hobby time presented itself unchallenged I gave over to rebasing the British and Roosian cavalry from the returned Prodigal Foundry Collection. I started with the British Light Brigade for no other reason than their Command stand was already textured for me! There were ten figures for each component of the Brigade: Lancers, Light Dragoons and Hussars. I had originally intended to base the cavalry in pairs, but in the end I opted for two bases of three figures and two of two figures. So, "the gallant six hundred" take a bow ~

The Heavy Brigade's turn for rebasing came next. There I had two Heavy Dragoon regiments of nine and eleven figures and the Scots Greys of nine figures. I have no recollection of why it's like this; remember I painted these back in the early 1990's and I've been to bed since then as they say! As luck would have it the group of 11 Heavy Dragoons contained two officers and two buglers, so I could use those duplicates to make up a Command stand and be left with three regiments of three bases, each of three figures! Here they are then, the Heavy Brigade and Command ~

Remember now, these are not fit to be seen close up according to ol' Black Bottle Bill, so those of a nervous disposition should look away now!

After that effort it's back to the Roosians, a mere sixteen bases of figures to finish off! More on those in due course, in the meantime let me end this blog entry by wishing you all "A Happy New Year!"
