Old Collingwood Posted January 22, 2023 Author #2285 Posted January 22, 2023 Evening all, no actual movement (I have been lazy lol) I have let my doors level as the paper was curving upwards due to the paint, so I have some weight on them to get them flat again, and the Cuirassiers are just chilling waiting for the washes, and a couple more French are waiting for more paint. I have some odds and sods that I could try to make up - some 5th KGL (Red Jackets) and some bits of equipent - backpacks, Shakos, Rifles etc that I will make up to be scattered on the ground in various areas .

Old Collingwood Posted January 26, 2023 Author #2309 Posted January 26, 2023 Evening all, I have been doing more research earlier and discovered something - the British Hussars where not closely connected to any action near LHS these should have been the Light Cavalry in the shape of the 2nd Life Guards who charged on the West side (Road side) of LHS so this is something I will have to look at latter.

Old Collingwood Posted January 29, 2023 Author #2310 Posted January 29, 2023 Evening all, I mananged a couple of hours on my little ones today - I started off by making Two 2nd Life Guards from my old light cavalry spru and gave then a primer, they will be sat on my already made ex Hussar horses that just need their facing colours chsnged. I also decided to dig out of my trash box a few 2nd KGL that I had put a side because I did not think they were molded well enough - so I gave a few primer and the others some paint, I did the same with Three more French that I decided to have a re make of - primed and some basic paint on - faces and hands/belts and other bits of colour.
