Languedoc Dragoons

I managed to finish the horses for the dragoons that Steve Allen painted for me. The only thing I need to do is add a small amount of lace which I forgot to mention in the brief!!!

Next up is I need to look at getting some command figures made and cast!

Use your Imagi-Nation!

I have always been aware that like me a few of my customers also build Imagi-Nation forces alongside their Historical 18th Century armies.

One of my regular customers asked re the feasibility of buying some of my sculptors time to commission a few pieces. The Point was he was only after a couple of regiments and I pointed out it would be rather expensive for such a small number but after discussing with him what he wanted I offered to have a go at doing a few conversions and putting them in one of my master moulds
the results you can see below ;-

The NCO's right shoulder needs a little work but the customer is more than happy. The two figures in tricorns are for my Dutch but the Officer will have a head swop once cast for the Customer's Grenadier Officer.

I've quite enjoyed doing this and am more than happy to do simple conversions for customers once we've discussed what they would like.

Next up is a lancer figure for another customer - all fun.
