Bodstonian Dragoons (Pt 3)

A couple more Standing bods.
The one tending the nag has had his left arm swopped with one of the riflemen´s arms which has been repositioned so it looks like he´s giving the nag a sugar lump (maybe) and the reins have been cut away from his right hand.
I decided to base the bod "making ready" singularily as it makes him more adaptable and fit alongside the other free standing one who´se aiming/firing.
Only a couple of conversions and the command Group to go.

    1. Thanks Phil. As Close to a red bay as I can get. Generally I don´t like painting nags but for some reason this set is easier and more fun to paint than others.I´ve planned that The officer will have a White nag...I really don´t like painting White nags!! When I paint them they never ever seem to look as I think they should :-(

    1. Thanks Michael. Looking at it now I could have made the right Hand flat (Squash it with some fine toothed tweezers to give the Impression of fingers and turned it slightly) so it Looks like he´s patting/stroking the neck of the nag.
