Austrian Sachsen-Gotha Dragoons

Another unit of the new dragoons completed - this time with a little modification.

As mentioned my previous post I am not all that keen on the pose with the sword low down alongside the horse (see below). For this unit I have the sword on the shoulder, using the arm from the cuirassiers. The arm is a little on the large size, but not really noticeable, it also requires a bit of work modifying  the cuff, as the cuirassier has heavy gloves and the dragoon are bare handed.

I think I prefer the sword on the shoulder - any thoughts?

  3. Shoulder looks much better. More uniform and military.

  4. The sword raised high to the front would be fine if the horses were moving a little faster. O/w at the shoulder seems best.

  5. Nice work Steve. Agreed about the poses, the shouldered look is a lot better.
