I have been refurbishing a unit of Russian Chasseur-a-Cheval and they're pretty much finished except for more varnishing and then basing. The figures are all David Clayton castings kindly donated by Don W. Some have required more work than others as there were two separate facing colour schemes that I have changed to red to represent the Livland Regiment.

| The figure is RN.46 Russian Chasseur a Cheval (mounted) charging. The trumpeter is my own conversion work. |
Also on the painting desk are an undercoated unit of Minifigs S-range ECW Cuirassiers. I somehow seem to have accumulated rather a lot of ECW cavalry so I felt I should make a start on some. Here is my test figure:
 |
| The rider is ECWC3 and the horse is LCH3. It should be a heavy cavalry horse of course but these are the horses the previous owner had chosen. The figure has been stripped and repainted. |
Haselrig's Lobsters are a 'must have' unit just like Scots Greys and Old Guard in a Napoleonic collection or Tiger Tanks in WW2 one. I'm still not sure how far I'll be going down this particular rabbit hole but I do intend at least to finish this unit of 12 figures.
