About product

British dragoons in 1:72 scale

A mounted set of plastic figures in 1:72 scale with figures of British dragoons of the Napoleonic era. It is supplied unpainted and unassembled, with the rider seated separately. The manufacturer does not state the number of pieces, so check it on the packaging.

The real subject

The British dragoon regiments belonged to the heavy cavalry and wore a red coat and a crested helmet. Their reputation is a mixed one: they could charge with devastating force, as the charge at Waterloo showed when it scattered a French infantry column, but they were equally known for being unable to stop in time after a success and exposing themselves to a counterattack. It was a consequence of a large part of the officers coming from the hunting gentry, where cavalry zeal outweighed discipline. That is exactly why the British dragoons are a rewarding subject: they carry both the victory and its price.

Building and painting tips

Paint the horses before you seat the riders; afterwards a brush cannot reach between the leg and the flank. British red needs more coats over a light base, otherwise it stays muddy. Darken the helmet crest and lighten only the edge. Do not mix the horses into a single color and unify the bases with a single tone; that bonds the group into one whole.

Who the set is for

  • wargamers building the British Napoleonic army
  • figure painters drawn to striking heavy cavalry
  • makers of dioramas of the campaign of 1815
  • completing British infantry and artillery sets in 1:72

The figures are supplied unpainted and unassembled. Paints, glue and bases are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

In the British army of the Napoleonic era the dragoon regiments belonged to the heavy cavalry.

In layers over a light base. Over a dark base it stays muddy.

Paint the horses first and only then seat the riders in the saddle.
