Dra-goons, that is. This week’s work involved the painting of a handful of 28mm Dragoons for my Sharp Practice project.
Officer, and four Dragoons, painted up as the 1st.
Another view. I have zero expertise in French cavalry uniforms (don’t even own an Osprey on the subject!), but I THINK these are in a pre-1809 uniform.
Down the road…
Another five dismounted dragoons await the tender ministrations of my paint brush, and then I will have to order the mounted versions. Though it will hurt my wallet, particularly with the aforementioned mounted figures, I think I’m going to stay with metal miniatures for this entire project.
These figures are from Brigade Games’ Napoleonic line.In my opinion, (obviously, since I wrote it), Brigade’s figures are every bit the equal of Perry (which I also love). To forestall any confusion, I’m speaking of Brigade Games in the USA-I don’t think they have any affiliation with the UK company of the same name.
Until next time…

Looking good Tim. Anything Sharp Practice = huge win.
Thanks, John. If I could stay focused on one project, maybe I’d actually get to play a game!
Unfortunately Brigade Games is prohibetily expensive living in Europe due to mail costs, but the models are really good. I have some IWW African Germans and Askaris and have no rival in the market
That’s too bad, they do carry some fine miniatures.
They look good to me.
Thanks!
Very nice painting and evocative scenic photographs. What’s not to love?
Thank you!
Very nice.
Thanks!
