I base mine 32x32mm for infantry, 40x40mm for cavalry and artillery on large FOW bases. That means all measures in inches are doubled but in cm. 6 inches equals 12cm that way.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312592923454343790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102523900633432284.post-47101142117903814332018-11-30T17:27:32.202-05:002018-11-30T17:27:32.202-05:00My local model shop has the HAT infantry in stock....My local model shop has the HAT infantry in stock.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102523900633432284.post-53616850411982675342018-10-31T04:44:54.303-04:002018-10-31T04:44:54.303-04:00The current HAT British Dragoons have a tunic that...The current HAT British Dragoons have a tunic that is about the right length. The older one with long tails was replaced in 1796. You would have to add lace across the chest (paint?)and being older, the detail on these isn't as good as the latest sculpts but they could work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102523900633432284.post-58920763904736694642018-10-29T10:03:12.624-04:002018-10-29T10:03:12.624-04:00Great looking units, nice conversion work too.Great looking units, nice conversion work too.Tony Mileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03046365128769273868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102523900633432284.post-48528478921746114362018-10-29T06:44:45.135-04:002018-10-29T06:44:45.135-04:00Bravo!

And I do understand that HaT is re-releasing their command set, which may be the simplest solution if I get tired of converting figures to ensigns!<br />I have been thinking of joining in with the crowd funding of the British cavalry - the figures look very good. I thought there was a set of heavy dragoons in the works as well. I have the set of the Prussian Dragoons and have been eye-balling them but they feel like they will need a fair bit of work to convert.Bill Slavinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05056237500818603134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102523900633432284.post-13636346234010446082018-10-25T16:40:46.499-04:002018-10-25T16:40:46.499-04:00Very good painting.
