Empress Dragoon

[The Riveteer]

Just thought I'd share this fantastic model bought at the recent Easingwold show from Mitches Military Models. https://www.mitchesmilitarymodels.co.uk/120mm-models

Really surprised they haven't announced it here (unless I missed it); it appears to be available on their site now in 120mm
The display model at the show was stunning in the flesh - I had to buy it on sight. Although depicting a trumpeter the trumpet part can be omitted and a with only a short length of cord filed down to depict an other-ranks model
Pieces are clean and fit together nicely. Highly recommended.

It does look good and I like the groundwork too, very effective.

Hi David got mine there too from the terrific display stand done by Gordon and the guys. Just about finished it and bringing the sub assemblies together....as you said a show stopper ..... Mike

Hi David

Certainly looks a lovely piece of sculpting

Hope we see this being painted by both you and David


Here's a nice unmounted Mitches announced a while ago https://www.planetfigure.com/threads/120mm-french-dragoon-mitches-military-models.117260/

Enjoy

It looks great but although the rolled blanket over the shoulder suggests a dragoon on campaign, it does cover some of the detail..

Agree with your assessment David - it's a lovely figure and I'm really enjoying mine. Just finished clean up and prime.

Love it!

Funny how we all see things differently. It was that blanket roll, trumpet, drum and cast away weapon on the base that sold it for me. I already have other "clean" dragoons in the grey army so I like the cluttered campaign look as offering a bit of variety. I also bought MMM'S N.B.Forrest at the same show, mainly because of the wealth of equipment depicted - saddle bags, canteen, binoculars and case and two head options one wearing a hat. one without.

That is a beautiful miniature, wonderful sense of fluid movement to both the horse and rider.
