Costa Cavalry

Here we have the finished (minus 1 flag) Bluemoon Bavarian Costa Cuirassier Regt, I wasn't very happy with these, as the standard of the figure combined with the high price makes them a poor buy, however I am currently painting painting some tricorned cavalry figures and they seem much better, I will post pics when finished with some Dixons and Essex and let you decide.

Bavarian Regt Rivera

Latest regt to join the Catholic cause, I really enjoyed painting these after stuggling with the Bluemoon cavalry, may have to eat my words though, currently painting some of their figures up as Hanoverian horse, and the early signs are quite promising. The flags here are from the excellent Maverick Models range and the figures are Dixons,the yellow coatedgent on the back row represents a NCO who wore reversed colours, hope you like them

Comparision

Hi
Well here we are Bluemoon v Essex v Dixon, we have 2 regiments here, Arco, blue facings and Costa with the red facings, Arco are Dixon troopers and Essex command figures while Costa are all Bluemoon, I think once the current Bluemoon figures are painted I won't be buying any more, they arn't bad figures but certainly not an improvement on figures that were designed 10+ years ago, and as a new company they should be pushing to make improvements or expand on what is already available, but they haven't.
