Hohenzollern Cuirassier Regiment number 8 This unit was part of G M Lederer's Brigade of Division Hessen-Homburg. When I started my project I was unaware of Mr Kane's wonderful figures and was going to use the Hat offering. I also had a look at the possibility of using the Zvezda Saxon Cuirassiers, slightly chopped to add variety. Whilst the Hat guys will be useful for casualties I feel that the Saxons mounted on Mr Kane's horses have an appeal. I, in hindsight, should have altered some of the head positions to break them up a bit but overall I am pleased with them.

Napoleonics are so drab. Ha!
Beautiful work, Chris, thanks for sharing! |

Look good Chris, but those white uniforms get old after painting two corps grenadiers and cavalry. 😉 Especially when they rarely win. 😞 |

Chris, your usual standard of excellence. I agree about the heads – I think a sideways position is because of the injection moulds? – but this is nit-picking. A formidable unit, indeed. |

From white uniforms may the Good Lord deliver us. Murder to do. These are great and the trumpeter and the spiral striped pole for the standard are outstanding |

very nice I applaud your effort to paint the spirals on the standard pole |
