Re: Srelets - FYI - Examples of Colors of Horses by Orion & Cannons

* Polish Winged Hussars:

* Russian Civil War:

Summary: Looking at these, as well as my own here at home, I have to prefer same color horses and men, but I would also prefer British Artillery in Blue, Infantry in Terracotta, Highlanders in Khaki, Terracotta and even Blue.

For Artillery Cannons, I would prefer Gray or Dark Silver. Cassion Sets look nice in Gray. I think the Russian Naval Cannons in Silver works well. I used them for a scratch-built ACW Ironclad. Here are examples of each:

* Boer War Conversions w/Revell Napoleonic Cassions etc:

Hope this helps by being able to see some examples - Cheers!

Re: Re: Further Ideas for Srelets

Oh, yes, oh, yes:

To have the 17th Lancers in Blue would be a dream come true.

As Uwe has shown us, in his Contribution for the Battle of Aliwal, these same figurines could be used for other campaigns too. Terracotta and Blue would be perfect:

Give me two colors, and I buy twice as many!

Re: Re: Further Ideas for Srelets

I'm with Bono on the Indians for the AWI and earlier French-Indian conflict. American Civil War figures are always a safe bet and no firm has brought any new sets out in several years. Skirmishing, dismounted cavalry would be great.
