Tambour Major
Last w/e i had some time and i start this new set, 6 or 8 tambour majors in different outfits and poses, this is the first; i think it can be a nice subject for collectors and war gamers because in this scale it is quite difficult to find anything.
Austrian Hussars Skirmishing master ready
Here a small set with Austrian Hussars shooting, I added an NCO to the initially 3 miniatures and the set is ready. The standing horses can be used alternatively with the FA-001 or FA-002 sets. With the addition of a set of casualties and a mounted colonel i think i covered enough for this unit.
