The Dragoons were created by the Chevalier of Firmacon, on September 14th 1673, and ranked 6th then 9th in its arm. During the late 1600's they were commanded by the following Mestres de Camp 1673 J de Cassagnet de Tilladet Chevalier Firmacon (Firmacon Dragoons)
1678 C-L Marquis of Barbezieres, (Barbezieres Dragoons)
1692 G-L Count of Estrades, (Estrades Dragoons)
The figures are from North Star 1672 range and can be found here.
They were undercoated to paint up for Challenge 8, but never made it on the painting table!
So I thought it was about time they did!
I also painted up the green coated fellows dismounted and a horse holder as well!
They're painted in their early uniform of green coat and yellow cuffs, in 1692 the uniform changed to a rather boring all green, so I stuck with the yellow distinctions for a bit of variety.
I make this entry 110 points?
And I finally pass my 1600 target
Phew!!!
Hmmm, 110 points is correct. He must be getting help with his arithmetic from someone...
Smashing dragoons Ray!

Lovely work Ray, I've been sorely tempted with the 1672 range. Love the green with yellow facings. And congrats on getting past you target.
ReplyDeleteCheers Peter. I haven't got many figures from thec1672 range but they're beautiful sculpts.
DeleteNice dragoons Ray - a fine flop to their hats. Hope to see you next Challenge. Pete.
