I've had to make a few tweaks to this company, mainly shopping out the spare officer to use in a different unit. Counting through my undercoated figures, I realised there were no more officers left, with company E still to do, this was going to be a problem.
Young Jed O'Neil came to the rescue and took the place the spare Lieutenant.
Now Calhoun rides with his full company of troopers towards his fateful hill.
The spare officer gets a bit of a tweak too. A canvas bullet belt is added to cover his civil war sash.
Update: Tom Custer's Company C trots into view. This is another nice unit to paint because they are mounted on light chestnut horses. It will make the company stand out amongst the others.
Foundry paint 'light chestnut' is the perfect colour for this, nice and easy.
Sorrel is the American name for chestnut.
