I've finally got round to finishing this set of Danish Dragoons from the First Schleswig War. More info on this conflict can be found here, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Schleswig_War

The figures are from Karl-Werner Rieger. http://www.zinnfiguren-rieger.de/

Painted with oils and an interesting and unusual subject.

Cheers Ian. They are painted both sides so the plan was to mount them on a wood base with a bit of groundwork but looking through my meagre stash of bases nothing is big enough so they will be going in the cabinet like this for the time being. Which probably means forever Lol.
I have quite a bit of reference material for both Schleswig Wars if you're interested.
 
Hi Rodger

cheers mate would love some I only have a few bit of art work on the war very limited. I have the Prussians but the Danish side is a little different. the cav look interesting. I think they would make an interesting study.
Get in touch with Richard at Oakwood studios, he has some great bases I'm sure you will find a base for them, they are crying out for it with some ground work.
And you will have to bring them to the White Rose xmas Bash. we have some great flats on show.

cheers

Nice finish, Roger! I like your coloring on the horses especially. Whether you put them in a little diorama or in on a classic velvet backdrop in a frame, they'll look great!

Prost!

Very nice work as usual Roger. Always an eye for something different. This is what I like about flats, a change from the 'normal' stuff. 30mm is way too small for me though :(

Thanks very much Brad. I'm quite pleased with the way the horses turned out as I tried a couple of different colours in the mix.
I think you'll like some of my latest purchases. ;)

Thank you Graham. I'm usually influenced by what what books I'm reading and luckily I can find flats to match that interest.
30mm isn't that bad, my eyesight is though... but I have help. :D
 
Beautiful executed as usually and nice to see some Danish, it doesn't happen so often. Thank you for sharing :)
