Dragoone conversions


It is looking unlikely that I will get to play out the forthcoming battle in Borsetshire due to preparing to go on holiday and getting my second Covid jab etc . But I'm busy converting Musketeers into Dragoons , luckily the dress is similar and all I've had to do is add boot tops from 'green stuff' to their legs , in the background is a artilleryman converted into a 'horse holder' and a couple of spare Napoleonic horses , as ECW Dragoons spent most of their time dismounted I'm not going to bothering with mounted figures.

  1. Always appreciate a good conversion! Hooray for jab #2 (had mine 9 days ago--just a few days off from full effect).

  2. Congratulations on your second shot Tony! My wife and I felt at peace, knowing we would not have to worry so much about getting sick. And I was able to hug my 93 year old mother for the first time in over a year! That was truly wonderful! Great job on your conversions, they look just right!

  4. Congratulations on your jabs!
    Who doesn't love a nice dragoon? They were one of the figures that attracted me to Peter Laing's 15mm ECW range as a young teenager - still got them and they still get used - https://manoftinblog.wordpress.com/2016/08/01/my-favourite-peter-laing-figure/

  7. Looking good. I too didn't bother with mounted dragoons ( or empty horses for that matter). Have a great holiday.
