    Hello folks,
    I finally got these figures from Trident designs, yes it has a new owner Phillip Gates from New Zealand, and website will be up in few weeks.
    These figures ar epart of the new batch of the FIW/SYW range beautifully sculpted by Sean Judd.
    The original figures are the French corps of cavalry in Canada, which i am converting to the cuirassiers du Roi, the only cavalry Regiment to wear cuirass over their coats at the time .
    I sanded the shoulder belt, added the cuirass and liner, all i need to do is adding the straps.
    As for the head, i've used one of the grenadiers from the AWI range, covered the front plate of the bear fur hat to resemble the ones used by this regiment at the time. 5de2155cfc6fc59f7b5e33f67d9e288d-1.jpg 20190423_100923.jpg 20190424_084003.jpg 20190424_084008.jpg 20190424_084052.jpg 20190424_084059.jpg

    Daniel, Thanks for the update on the Trident figure line. It is good to know that these great figures will be back on the market soon. I have painted almost all of my AWI soldiers, and was getting concerned that I would have to go on eBay to find any more. Excellent work on the cuirassier conversions. Best regards, Don
