Penultimate Great Northern War Swedish Cavalry Regiment Completed

 Here are the last six figures in my version of the Swedish Mounted Lifeguard Regiment, using the beautiful Ebor Miniatures sculpted by Pail Hicks. I have started assembling the last twelve figures in the deal I purchased from Nick Wragg at Ebor a few weeks ago now. I have not decided which regiment to do but feel I should probably pick another one wearing the standard blue faced blue combination, given the bulk of the Swedish cavalry would have been so attired. I may do the Queen Dowagers regiment , as I feel the need for a second elite cavalry unit - we shall see.



Three images from different angles......



....followed by four showing the entire regiment - Ga Pa!





Take care and enjoy your toy soldiers!
