Giant Commission -- Waterloo British Cavalry

I finished up these 78 British cavalry on the last day of January.  There is at least one stand here for every British and King's German Legion cavalry regiment at Waterloo.



1st and 2nd KGL Hussars






7th, 15th, and 18th Hussars






10th Hussars




11th, 12th, and 13th Light Dragoons




16th and 23rd Light Dragoons






1st, 2nd, and 6th Dragoons




Royal Regiment of Horse Guards, 1st and 2nd Life Guards



Here is my progress on the Anglo-Allied Waterloo army so far.  Each of these trays is just over 12" on each side, so we have here nearly three square feet of completed troops.  We have here over 1,000 infantry and nearly 150 horse.



I am painting the artillery today and will prime the gunners once it stops raining!

    1. Thanks, Phil! They're not quite as colorful as the French, but close.

    1. It's huge! I have had to change the way I organize my painting space just to accommodate them!
