Giant Commission -- Austrian Uhlans

All the light cavalry now has their base coats.  For some reason, I caught on fire today highlighting these lancers.  The Austrians fielded four Uhlan regiments, all in green jackets and pants with red facings.  The only regimental distinction was the color of the top of the czapka.



1st (emperor yellow) and 2nd (green) Uhlans



3rd (crimson) and 4th (white) Uhlans


The light dragoons and hussars are up next!

    1. Thanks, Jon! I guess lancers are growing on me. I think the only Napoleonic lancers I own are a regiment of Poles.
