Suitable for the Natal Carabineers or Mounted Police (1 Viewer)

Hi guys what do you think of using this for the above figures. Looks similar to the horses (in terms of tack, blankets etc...) used by The Collectors Showcase. Would need a lick of paint obviously, just wondered what your thought were.

Good idea! Here is what you have to do:
Paint the saddle blanket a light tan (kaki).
File down the rear blanket role/portmanteau, so it looks like the front one. The rear gear can be left.
Paint both blanket roles the same caribineer dark blue.
Paint all the leather a medium brown.

Hope that helps,

Thanks Sandor, I may pick up a couple and have a go, maybe even repaint the horse too

Hi Scott,

Get one and check it against the size of the Britains figure scale to scale do they look good together. If not you could also try Frontline they do some downed Cavalry with the horses in a similar position. I have a few of their figures and they seem to go well with the Britains figures. Plus they did a line for the first Sikh War and the tack is clearly British and would probably work in Natal.
