Hello Folks,
First time posting here... I hope I can contribute more of my work in the future. :)
This is my 1/72 scale French Dragoon from the Napoleonic War. The kit is from 3 boxes of Italeri French dragoon set and I built it pretty much out of the boxes except changed few head positions and adding side muskets. This project took me about 4 monthes of continues daily painting exercise to complete. During this time I have learned alot about blending and small scale painting. Although there are multiple of the same poses I try my best make sure each individual figure is unique in some way so there are no exact same figure. As for the the accuracy goes it is not 100% as there are minor parts of scupt which does not agree with my historical references, therefore I had to make some asthetic adjustment.
I also want to thank my girlfriend for her support as she is a fantastic model builder too and excellent QC for my project.

Detail of the captain
For those who are still interested, I photoed each individual riders for better details. They are all unique in color/pose/ and in my website. Here's the index:
