Another splendid unit.
I had the same thought Andy and tried several variations but I liked the textured bases best.
Cheers for both your kind comments and support.

Finished this cavalry regiment today Prussian Leibregiment 3rd cuirassiers.
I did not paint the eagles, cypher details and the sash on the crossbelts as less is more
when painting these figures.
Not sure if I am happy with the gloves, may repaint those bits.

Lovely once again!

As you say, less can often be more. I stopped painting (most) shabraque-badges years ago, as combined with coat-tails, scabbards and other bits of kit hanging down, they largely obscured the dominant colour of the shabraque.

Cheers chaps for your kind comments, RMD as you say sometimes it's best to use artistic licence.
Some sources state that these heavy cavalry sword scabbard was brown but I liked gunmetal instead.
