Here's a couple of WIP shot of some conversions of mounted militia that I am making for the Southern Theater.
The front row are conversions of mounted officers for VA, SC, Loyalist, Philly Associators and some others
The figures are all Perry AWI cavalry of various units. I removed the heads and replaced them with KMM heads.
You can see in the last row that the horsemen are, indeed, headless!!
The middle row has some mounted militia carrying muskets to the battle. I used Perry plastic "at the trail" arms from the British set.
I cut the bayonets off, drilled into the plastic and glued some wire into the arm. I then stuck a small ball of green stuff into the arm socket.
I test fitted the arm and then super glued it all in place.
I've always wanted riders carrying muskets, ever since I saw Bill Gaskins' AWI mounted men in Wargames Illustrated, years ago.
This is just the first batch. I have several other mounted castings that I need to convert to finish these off.
