You can also use the RSM limber rider or take a dragoon and put some wire in his open hand to simulate a whip. Maybe use the Front Rank horses for the 12 pdrs and wagons. The RSM rider does fit on the Front Rank horse quite nicely.Der Alte Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578422757511400566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504742686650223041.post-30006011896351114812009-12-22T13:33:20.282-06:002009-12-22T13:33:20.282-06:00Jim,

Of the RSM and Front Rank horses, which do you think would be better?<br /><br />Have a great Holiday.dfogleman2https://www.blogger.com/profile/03415446517581416185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504742686650223041.post-80887024307462289202009-12-17T05:31:50.666-06:002009-12-17T05:31:50.666-06:00Der A., some one has to say it, another 28/30mm Pr...Der A., some one has to say it, another 28/30mm Prussian army?

Looks like a good progect you have...Hi Uncle Jim<br /> Looks like a good progect you have going their, and I saw your posting about those austrians being glued to pennies. Don''t stick the pewter models in the freezer as this will believe it or not make the models more brittle as well. Instead I am assuming you used a zap a gap supper glue on these. If so then easy fix with two choices. The first being get a sculpting took and wedge it between the model and the base thise can help alleaviate the model from the penny. The next choise is a simple debonder will easily do the trick. If you are unsure of doing it all just send it to me and ill do it for you for free!AkersMinishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17023300139654105140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504742686650223041.post-57977532437891784342009-12-16T07:52:10.232-06:002009-12-16T07:52:10.232-06:00An interesting new project indeed.

To substitute dark green with black on von Luckner's Hussars first uniform would almost amount to the same ad givng red trousers to the 'black & white' ones. The result would be original, yet barely less 'historical' than de Winter's Bosniaks, and certainly no more than WAS Grassins or de Saxe Uhlans in a SYW setting; and would visually be in harmony with the 'Black Legion'....<br /><br />Looking eagerly forward to read more about Milady de Winter!<br /><br />Btw, how is the Hesse-Seewalder war balloon project progressing?<br /><br />Best regards,<br />Jean-Louisabdul666https://www.blogger.com/profile/16172686098173637906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504742686650223041.post-11992643973588722612009-12-16T06:28:32.756-06:002009-12-16T06:28:32.756-06:00Good luck with your new project.
