DB, its a mix and mash to be honest I don't go for a historical push with these type of projects/games, so my Mogul types are made up of Foundry Sikhs and Indian the darkest Africa Arab mercs and a bunch of Perry Arabic types. The Brits are Victrex Scots and lights (the metal heads) I plan to get some of the Perrys ACW to do some "Sharps Tigers" with head swaps using a lose potted history of the actual Sharps books and mixing it into the 2FL campaign setup. A fun long term project for myself your welcome to the idea. As for actual uniform sources mainly googled and a few Osprey etc plates, can't wait to do tiger stripes on a yellow coat unit and another in lilac with check stripes :) nowadays trying to do what I can in plastics, just to see if it can be done basically. The fun of making the actual characters is most enjoyable, I buy a lot of head swops from companies like Redoubt for these.
Cheers and happy gaming

We Are Happy to Announce The Plastic British Light Dragoons Are Now Available!

Napoleonic British Light Dragoons 1808-1815
28mm Hard Plastic figures designed by Alan Perry

The figures in the box cover all the regiments of the British Light Dragoons from 1808-15. The early Peninsular War uniforms (consisting of the dolman and classic Tarleton), as well as the late Peninsular War/Waterloo campaign uniform (consisting of the French style shako and coat) are included in the box. The bodies are split at the waist, and both overalled legs and breeches/booted legs are provided for all. These are very animated set of cavalry due to the split bodies, separate heads and arms. Heads with helmets tropical climates included. With a small addition of a queue (either painted or modeled), the figures in this box can be used back to 1800.

There are more shots of these on our website, including frame shots.

Box Contents:: 14 mounted figures in the box (twelve troopers, an officer and trumpeter). Full uniform guide and service records and unit bases.

We are offering a Vandeleur figure if you buy three boxes of Light Dragoons direct from us.
