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.

Oberst Clemens Freiherr Von Hohenforst-Grosselsberg proudly leads his men.

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
