Lamming (Early) 20mm - French Cheveau-Leger Lancers of the Line





The top two images show front/back and left/right views of the Cheveau-Leger Lancers of the Line
Top row left to right: FC23-Lancer, FC24-Lancer Officer and a conversion Trumpeter (Lamming never made a Cheveau-Leger trumpeter in the early range)made from the Officer and the trumpet from a Curassier Trumpeter.
On the bottom: Horses H3 and FH which the appropriate horses for the Officer and Lancer.
The bottom two images show the Cheveau-Leger Lancer Regiment of 3 (six figure)Squadrons brigaded with two squadrons of spare Polish Lancers which will be painted as French Line Lancers - under command of a Polish Brigadier - arrayed and awaiting paint! I have bent down the lance holding arm and will probably replace the lances with plastic or metal ones when I find where to purchase them from!

Lamming (Early) 20mm - Polish or Dutch Lancers of the Guard






In the normal efficient manner of maximizing the use of masters and moulds these figures were provided to be used as Polish or Dutch Lancers of the Guard.

The top two images show front/back and left/right views of the Lancers of the Guard
Top row left to right: FC19-Lancer, FC20-Lancer Officer and FC25-Lancer Trumpeter.
On the bottom: H2 and H3 Light Cavalry Horses which were the appropriate horses for the Lancers.
The bottom two images show the Polish Lancer Regiment brigaded with the Dutch Lancer Regiment each of 4 (six figure)Squadrons arrayed and awaiting paint!

Each squadron consists of an officer and 5 lancers - except that the first squadron of each regiment boasts a trumpeter replacing one of the lancers.
Not shown - I have two more squadrons which will become Lancers of the Vistula with some suitable minor changes. also for all three regiments I will replace all lances with hand made straight wire ones and will repose the arm/lance positions prior to painting.
