French Carabiniers - Finished

It took me a little longer than planned to complete my Carabiniers than planned.

Well here they are trooping off the painting table. 


These are all JC recasts and are rather nice




The Trumpeter was converted from a single casting Carabinier with a plastic trumpet and hand glued on from a Zvezda SYW Prussian Hussar. I used my dremel to remove the carbine and other equipment.

    What a fine looking unit! The sky-blue and red go so well together. I like the way you do the sheepskin saddle covers as well.

    Lovely Mark, well done. One of my most favourite? regiments, you've done a cracking job.

    Gorgeous - I think they look even better going rather than coming - an ideal viewpoint as you'll be the one commanding them. I do get frustrated with only seeing all the backpacks of my infantry while my opponent gets to see their best side - after all I put in the work to paint them.
    Still curious why you don't paint the horses eyes

    Thank you all for your kind comments.

    LG - I will have to look at using Newline as yoy suggest.

    Rob - I will think about eyes on horses. Perhaps a little black line on the lighter horses to denote the eye.
