Beautiful unit Stephen, that mix of yellow, red and green is really effective on the elite troopers, and I like that you've kept the horses dark, to really make the riders stand out. How does Elite Minis compare to for instance Perry in size and quality?
Elite are reminiscent of Hinchcliffe and Connoisseur. They are little larger than a Perry sculpt and the detail is more exaggerated. So they're a bit like playing with your dad's train set ;-) I'd say they'd mix at a distance, but not within the same unit. I'll probably switch to Perry for my Cuirassiers and hopefully they'll do some more 1812 stuff in due course.
