Black Hussar Minis Napoleonic British Surgeons

Yet another vignette with several more Black Hussar (née Westphalia) minis, as well a Victrix artilleryman and limber.
I'm not quite sure who the guy with the caduceus staff is supposed to be, so just painted him up with a blue smock and what I think is a leather vest.
The shako, backpack and musket are Perry and Victrix plastic spare parts.
The saw blade has a very nicely sculpted serrated edge. The guy holding it wears some cool looking glasses - giving him a sort of Steampunk look.
There are two more limbers from the Victrix artillery set which might be used in other vignettes.
As mentioned in the previous post, the 3mm thick plywood oval base is sold by Hobby Lobby - a pack of 8 for about $2.00.
Thank you very much for stopping by and best wishes to you all. Oh, and I almost forgot to mention it, but just ordered a copy of Black Powder 2nd Edition this morning.

    Liking your little dioramas. That blue dude with the hat almost looks out of century? But who knows, some rich dude who formed the unit probably dressed him that way.

    I just got an email from Warlords a few days ago that my pre order shipped. Should be getting it soon along with Lucky Jack, which is the biggest reason I got the 2nd Edition. But I am hearing good things about it.

    Cheers
    Kevin

    Lovely and one of the smallest components, the resting musket, just adds so much to the scene.

    Very nice vignette! As a physician myself, I should have more medical personnel, but to date it is limited to a single French Napoleonic ambulance with stretcher bearers. The state of medical care was pretty abysmal back then!

      Thank you very much, Peter (doctor)! BTW, Warlord Games and Perry makes nice ambulance sets which I may someday get as well. Kindest regards, Dean

      Thanks, Matt. Yes, the different makes fit well together. In fact, the Victrix artilleryman has a Perry arm - holding the musket. Kind regards, Dean

      Thanks, Iain. To be honest, when I ordered the Black Hussar minis, I wasn't sure what I was going to do with them. Best, Dean

    Dean, the follow you have in the leather vest, is suppose to represent a Belgian horse-driver in a native long blouse which has a stretched pattern on the chest. His long whipping stick has the thin leather whip unrealistically wrapped tightly around it.
    and, yes, the 'sawbones' does have very odd eyeglasses. The stereotypical look might have them smaller and further down the nose.

    Cheers

      edit: that's "fellow" not follow ;)
      Your vignette has a nice composition and the painting good as always. Hard to find a game use, but the lightweight plastic limber does offer a nice centrepiece to such good eye candy

      geez, having typing...well,OK...spelling problems today. In the first post: it is "stitched pattern" not stretched. Perhaps embroidered is the better term.

      Ah, I see...Odd, that it was in the pack with the British guys; I think "they" (Sascha?) threw it in as a freebie - I also got another wheel barrow too. Well since he's already on the stand, he stays :) Thanks for the info - always impressed with your knowledge, Doug! Kind regards, Dean
