First Painting of 2026

Well, I’m cheating a little…in that these were started over the Christmas break but only completed in the new year.

Here is another unit of Dragoons for my 17th Century Polish/Lithuanians: the unit mounted, the unit dismounted, and a horseholder marker.

Most of the figures are from By Fire & Sword and are a mix of figures based on their Dragoons box sets augmented by spare Haiduks from another. The foot command figures and the horseholders are from the extensive and ever-dependable Essex range.

All the figures are painted with Contrast Paints, with the red then highlighted with standard acrylics.
