Here are the shortened horse bodies.

Likewise, Ive treated the front ranks in the same way with decreasing proportions.

Added stirrups. I think this looks pretty good. So I will let it dry for now and concentrate on the other horsemen.

Hello Louis,

Thanks. Still more to do ....sigh....

Ive decided to work on these 5 horsemen as a first batch. The poses are all finalised. Notice that the shortened horses create foreshortening (visual perspectives) and saves on space.

There is some artistic license in creating the back portions.

Now to add the details as closely as I can to the actual ptg.

Rgds Victor
e back part of most of these horses cannot be seen clearly so there is some artistic license in

Ive kept these 5 figs in the same orientation so that you can see how I build up the details.
Pouch belts, arms, shakos, neck collars and shabraques are being built up. Some horse heads are tilted when I cf against the ptg.
One of the horse (my fav of this lot) has had the mane removed and a tail added. The hussar is hatless. A very dynamic pose.

Worked more on two of the figs in this batch. Shako peak, fur trim on pelisse, Tightening the sleeves, pouch belthorse mane, valise etc

I slapped some basic acrylic paint on these two figs. Easier to visualise and see what esle needs to be done.

You are sure going to have 'fun' painting all that braid on the pelisse of all the troopers
