28mm Perry figure.
A quick fun paint job, took about 20 minutes. A high ranking hanger on for my future Napoleon's HQ. For size reference he is based on a 3/8" flat washer which is 13/16" or 21mm wide.
He represents a high ranking officer from the "2e régiment de chevau-légers lanciers de la Garde Impériale (2nd regiment of light cavalry lancers of the Imperial Guard), also known as the Lanciers Rouges (Red Lancers), they were a light cavalry lancer regiment in Napoleon I's Imperial Guard. They were formed in 1810, after the Kingdom of Holland was annexed by France, but their original purpose was to serve as hussars of the Dutch Royal Guard.

Re: Lanciers Rouges
Looks great!
Iti s amazing the detail in these small scale war gaming miniatures. A nice paint job like yours makes the detail come alive!
And you don't have to worry about painting eyes!

Hello
Thank you for that.
I have tried eyes at this scale and they look like zombies. Lol
I do tip my hat to those that can make eyes look good.
