Title: horse artillery
Post by: Wealdmaster on August 16, 2005, 09:28:06 PM

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make Royal Horse Artillery from the Napoleonic period?  I am thinking about using union troops with white cross belts, then using a black pipe cleaner across the helmet.  The helmet though?  I can't think of anything to make this with.  The shako is way to tall.  I was looking at the horse and rider but then realized it is a child figure and won't work with adult heads.  Also thought of the medieval pot helm but no viser?  Any ideas?

Back in December 2002, David created a Playmobil Napoleonic Royal Horse Artillery (http://www.gardenwargaming.com/armies/dhamer/dhamerdec02.html) group!

Hello Jude,

I think the idea of using a pipe cleaner across the helmet is a perfect method of creating ones own kaskett-helmets as used by british horse artillery.

How about using an ordinary construction workers helmet as a bases. They can be ordered from the DS. I don't know the ETN though, but you can find the helmet in different colours in  3275 for example.

I think this would make a terrific kaskett!
