The 11th Hussars (Prince Albert's Own)


Got another regiment done for my Light Brigade, this time  a hussar regiment - the 11th Hussars - 'Prince Albert's Own' , nicknamed the 'Cherrypickers' or the 'Cherubums' due to their crimson trousers. The figures are of course Strelets , only one photo of them as the battery packed up in my camera . Next up their (in) famous commander Lord Cardigan.

    1. Thanks only needing six of them helped getting them done in short order.

  2. And a tiny Nolan galloping forward with the order?

    His lordship was picky but I think he'd approve of the brushwork on these.

    1. Yes I think there must be a Nolan figure in the pipeline.

    1. At the time of the Crimea he had left the 11th under a cloud after a run in with Cardigan I think and was shepherding a minor European noble around the war zone . however I do have a Flashman figure - - http://tonystoysoldiers.blogspot.com/2016/07/homage-to-flashman.html
