A French ADC for Broglie
This weekend, as a break while completing Regiment Diesbach, I converted an ADC to add to my recently made Broglie command unit. The horse is a modified S & S civil war piece, the figure a modified Dragoon officer. I wanted to get a sense of urgency and "moment in time" effect, hence the hat flying back from the head of the ADC, and the coat tails flapping. I enjoy converting one -off figures as a break from regimental duty. Much of the inspiration comes from other forums, and research. This particular fellow is based on the uniform of the ADC in the Osprey, Louis XV's Army Vol 4. Ref F1. I made the figure lean to one side on the horse, to give the impression he is just delivering or receiving an order. I am pleased with this effort, my photograph has not really done it justice, but a recent upgrade of my phone from an Iphone 5 to Iphone 8, with improved camera may help my efforts !
