Galpy I noticed on these AB Dragoons that the saddle trim was white, I was leaning towards Iyanden Darksun. Should they be white or Yellow? I am doing the 5th and 15th Dragoons...fyi.
I'm no expert but on page 11 of osprey Napoleons Dragoons and lancers. I say That horse cloth of middle green fabric edged with white lace 45mm wide. I can't find any reference to it being changed. Hope this helps Cheers Kent
Ok, I looked through my "big" book of Napoleonic Uniforms I reviewed slightly on my website and it lacked that specific info. On some plates I have seen it looks yellow/gold and on others it looks silver/white. I think the yellow/gold would look better but I will go with what you did as a ref. I do not have a French Dragoon book and you do so that's what I will go with. Thanks mate.
Hi - Just looked at your blog for the first time. Some truly superb brush work and you seem to have been very busy! Great stuff.

ReplyDeleteYellow facings look very striking on these. I like it!
