I painted the bases in my usual color scheme.
I then applied static grass. From the miniatures, I cut off the paper clips, leaving a small part in place in order to pin the models into the horses.
When mounting the miniatures onto the horses, I drilled a hole to pin the rider in place - which turned out was not well planned. Most of the miniatures need to be placed quite exactly, to fit in front of the bed rolls on the saddle, without interfering with stuff hanging from their belts at the riders backs. Now more or less eyeballing the exact place where to drill the hole was rather difficult. If you spot any models, where the riders crotch does not actually meet the saddle, this is an artistic effect showing the rider standing in his stirrups, eager to close with the enemy - and totally not me having botched up…
The models are basically done, the only thing left is varnishing them. But with currently themperatures being below 0°C, I will wait some for that.
