link Evening all, A while back I reviewed some of the 15mm Blue Moon Seven Years War range. Here I have got a finished unit of cavalry for you to have a look at. I think the horses are excellent sculpts and I a happy with the overall look of the unit. So much so I ordered some more. I painted the horses in oils, which is a touch old school these days but I really haven't found a better method over the years. I have included a mini tutorial in the post on the techniques used. Regards, Ken

Great figures Blue Moon, I have a fair few of their American Revolution figures and they are lovely sculpts. Very nice unit you have there. |

Very nice looking unit. How does Blue Moon cavalry compare to Old Glory and Eureka ? |

Hi 1st502Strike, I would put them in the middle, slightly better than Old Glory which always suffer from poor casting and they are cheaper than OG here in UK. I haven't had Eureka stuff in my hands but they appear similar to AB Napoleonics, they are a lot better than anything else but more expensive. Eureka however don't do British so they weren't an option. Regards, Ken

Eureka cavalry are on very, very large scale horses. I only have the SYW Cossacks but can show you those compared to Old Glory, here link I have Blue Moon Austrian Napoleonic cavalry and they are very small figures on horses that are quite thick through the body. |
