Perry Miniatures: Plastic Austrian Cavalry Update - Alan has been finishing off the first two frames ( the normal cavalrymen and horses) for the Austrian ’German’ cavalry and thought a few more pictures might be in order. All the cavalrymen will have the 1798, post 1805 helmets as well as post 1805 helmets without the woolen crests (often seen on campaign).
Although the earlier uniform (for the 1798 helmet) was looser, this isn’t that noticeable on mounted troops as it is on infantry, so Alan decided to add these heads on the frames. All cavalrymen with be able to be assembled riding at ease, to drawn swords, to a full out charge. The horses’ heads are separate to allow the differences between the ‘German’ and ‘Hungarian’ headstalls for the various types of cavalry included in the set. This has the added bonus of a ‘negative space’ ( an irritating but useful phase) between the reins and allows a more dynamic head angle. There’s still a little tweaking with these, but then it’s off to Renedra with them!
