Have been away for a while, so it's neat to come back and see where everyone is with their respective painintg projects. Good work!<BR/><BR/>Best Regards,<BR/><BR/>Stokes<BR/><BR/>P.S.<BR/><BR/>Where did you find your portrait of Friedrich Augustus II?WSTKS-FM Worldwidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14173042438761572040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15312232.post-12500664719086246032007-06-14T12:57:00.000+10:002007-06-14T12:57:00.000+10:00Well, thank-you gentlemen.The conversion was reall...Well, thank-you gentlemen.<BR/><BR/>The conversion was really very easy to do and is one I'll be repeating any time that I create more Dragoon regiments in the future. Ideally I ought to have pinned the drum and arm for stronger joints, but - would you believe it? - I couldn't find my pin-vice drill that evening.<BR/><BR/>The Dragoons do indeed have a Grenadier Troop. In the Bavarian service, a Dragoon Regiment had 12 troops, divided into three Squadrons. One of the 12 troops was Grenadiers. <BR/><BR/>As you can see, I've another two Squadrons of troopers to go, and only four troopers and a pair of horses left in the pile! Time for another order to RSM, I think. <BR/><BR/>You'll also note that I have many muskets to paint and cement into hands as well!<BR/><BR/>GregBloggeratorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15501347647235993401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15312232.post-2325463196888308992007-06-14T11:49:00.000+10:002007-06-14T11:49:00.000+10:00The drummer looks quite nice when placed in with t...The drummer looks quite nice when placed in with the other dragoons. Very fitting. Am I right in seeing that the dragoons actually have a grenadier troop? Or is that a different unit?Snickering Corpseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11207827630539622815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15312232.post-12204735570442104202007-06-14T10:58:00.000+10:002007-06-14T10:58:00.000+10:00Nice!One of these days I wil get some units painte...Nice!<BR/>One of these days I wil get some units painted for the Soweiter League (once I clear my painting desk of the current project).Fitz-Badgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15510866929782142007noreply@blogger.com
