While going through my supply of Elastolin bits, mumbling to myself about wishing I could figure out how to make at least one stand of mounted arquebusiers for the French, I came across a couple of Merten mounted Landsknechts that I had put aside until I could figure out what to use them for.
So, two headswaps, two scrounged arquebuses , three Merten horses, one Meisterzinn limber horse, a little work, and I have my French light cavalry. One stand of lancers and one of argoulets.

DeleteThis is the sort of thing I like to see. Come to think of it, this is the sort of thing I like to do.
ReplyDeleteMe too, its what I did before becoming a wargamer.
DeleteInventive and successful, well done!
ReplyDeleteSuccessful? We'll see when they are painted, hit the table and roll some dice! ☺
DeleteYour creativity has been hard at work here, can't wait to see them painted up.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I was eyeing some Merten ACW cavalry bodies... But, I think I'm getting lazy.
