Michael Miniatures British 17th Lancer Officer Full Dress 1837-1840

[Ben-nl]

Hello,

Several days ago I had received the new bust from Michael Miniatures: the British 17th Lancer Officer Full Dress 1837-1840.
My English is poor but I can tell you it is a very very great bust. Nice and sharp casted with great details on his lance cap and golden facings.
It was sculpted by Aaron Brown and the boxart is painted by Danilo Cartacci.
The scale is 1/10 and from resin. The box/kit contains 6 parts.
I show you some photos of it.

I had painted 10 busts from Michael Miniatures now and only what I can said: Really, they are very very great.

In my next thread I place my photos of the new czar Nicholas II too.

It's beautiful sculpting and painting.

I have a question on the jacket color. When was the jacket scarlet and when did it go to blue. Or was scarlet something the officiers wore instead of blue?

Chris, the uniform colour confused me too, the answer can be found here;

Your welcome Chris. Funnily enough while I was Googling for pics of Lancers I found a photo of my cousin, a Sergeant in the 16th Lancers, taken in 1980. I wasn't expecting that.
