What is it you're looking for and I'll check the figures?

just looking for a larger picture of the figures to get a better look at the shakos and plumes, as the plumes on the shakos on the website picture seems to be to large compared to all the pictures I have seen of british Light Dragooons for 1815, no criticism  intended

I'm not sure if I've got the original image anywhere.

thanks Leon, helps a bit, but the plumes still seem to be to large, the other ranks should be a different shape to the officers. again no criticism  intended just an observation

Not sure then, I'll have to check which reference material the sculptor used for those.  They can be clipped down though easily enough.

all the references  I have [books, pictures etc] show similar plume styles to the pictures for the period 1812-1815

QuoteThey can be clipped down though easily enough.
thats the plan  :)
