I decided to try and make a trumpeter using the FN106. Using my dremel I removed the carbine, cuirass, cartridge box an belt.
I tried making a trumpet however I could not get a reasonable result. I therefore made one using the trumpet and hand from a plastic Zveszda SYW Prussian Hussar.
Where the Carbine had been a used the point of a file to dot the metal to look like a sheepskin.
Finally I used a little bit of Miliput to add a sword hilt. I also used Miliput on the bases of all the cavalry to fill and smooth the bases.

I may be repeating myself here...

You do one or two ...next thing you know... it’s 40 years and you’ve made a career out of it...:-0
All the the best. Aly
Clever idea using the plastic trumpet it'll be good to see how he paints up!
That is a very handsome set of castings, Mark. I'm very keen to see what you do with them!
Very nicely done!
