Napoleonic Cavalry Casualty Figures - Perry Plastic Spares

Just a quick mid-week post; I normally don't pick up a paintbrush until the weekend, but since I got home early I managed to finish up these cavalry casualty figures this evening. Still need to base them on poker chips. These are all conversions from Perry plastic spares.
Top row, l-r: British Light Dragoon; French 9th Hussars; Spanish Dragoon. Bottom row, l-r: French Chasseur a cheval; French Carabinier; French Chasseur a cheval; British/KGL Hussar.
Looking forward to using these for the cavalry-heavy scenario in the new book - "The Eve of Waterloo." I hope to add a couple more cav units for this game - maybe some Warlord British Household Cav and French Lancers. Although cost-wise, Perry's aren't much more (and you are sure of the quality), I do like plastics over metals. Still undecided though.

    Excellent results yet again.
    I do like a lot of the new plastics but I'm still a metal man at heart.

      Thanks you much! I understand the metal vs. plastic thing. There are quite a few of my gaming buddies who love the heft of metal. Me, I like the light weight of plastics a lot. Kindest regards, Dean

      Lol! As long as the details can fit the brush :) Plastics remind me of my childhood with Airfix 1/72nd sets. Warm regards, Dean
