14 deliciously well-proportioned horses and bosniaks by Minden Miniatures with steel wire lances by Northstar. These come in 100mm lengths, which I trimmed down to 55mm before cementing them into drilled out hands. A second drop of the stuff at the right stirrup stabilizes and secures everything. Small paper pennions by yours truly.
A few recently released Minden bosniaken for your perusal. A large squadron according to my emerging Call It Macaroni rules for tabletop warfare in the mid-18th century. Finally all assembled, lanced, pennioned, tacked down to their bases, and ready for their white base coat of acrylic gesso. And only two months later than intended. The question begs. Can I get them painted and glossed by New Year's Eve? Only 14 figures and horses. Surely, even I can manage that. Right? Right??!!

Best regards.
Neil.
The whole staff at the chancellery stands behind you as you bring your Bosniaks to painted life. May you find the time and energy to get this mission accomplished within your self imposed time constraints. But -remember - if you don't the only harmed will be a tiny bit of ego. No one will think any the less of you, particularly among those in this wonderful hobby.
In case the Holiday Season sneaks up on us the way these things do, may you and your wonderful family have the very best of holidays.
Best wishes,
