Prussian Dragoons - Perry 28mm

Week 23 of backlog, and this time it is a couple of units of Prussian Dragoons. These are from the Perry Allied Cavalry plastic boxset. 

A change from the darker Prussian blue, I chose Vallejo Andrea Blue for the highlight, as coats for Prussian Dragoons were a significantly lighter shade of blue than was used for most other uniforms. I also went for red facings for both units in this instance to add even more colour.

  1. A nice addition. I've liked this uniform since my school friend [who lived at Waterloo but in East Anglia] painted the Hinchliffe officer turning in the saddle. The movement in the figure compared to my Minifigs was revolutionary to me.

    1. Thanks Stephen, yes it's a nice figure, and they have come a long way since Minifigs, though I do still really like the look of a nicely presented Minifig army!
