Having just finished painting the Red Box Jacobite cavalry as the French SYW Orleans regiment, I thought I'd parade the combined cavalry
8 regiments worth and a colourful lot they look:
The light cavalry (Schomberg's Volunteerrs & a combined Hussar unit):
A Heavy cavalry brigade comprised of the Lusignan & Wurtemberg regiments:
The new Orleans regiment, brigaded with the Maestre de Camp General regiment:
And finally, the Dragoon brigade, led by a new French general, converted from a figure in the Red Box set:
As many of you know, French SYW cavalry in this scale (1/72) are not to be had – all but one of the above units are conversions. This means quite a few incorrect details to do with uniform & horse furniture.
So, whilst not entirely satisfied with them, they mostly look the part IMO.
unpacks and sets up an inexpensive 3D printer, and prints a test object.
