Questionable Carlist cavalry conversion - complete

Here are the completed Carlist cavalry.  A small unit of half a dozen (I'll stick with 12 for infantry and 6 for cavalry units in this era), resplendent in green tunics, red breeches and enormous red berets. 

As usual I found a flag on the internet.  Forgive the hurried photos.
The complete unit - I rather like them.

Tim -
That is a very nice looking unit.

You have a way of introducing me to topics of which I know little to nothing. I end up having to read all sorts of stuff just to place your projects into context. So I've just been reading up (a bit) on the Carlist Wars. I reckon I might be forced to do a little more of the same!

Thank you!
Ion

Great conversions Tim! The berets are quite stylish and really set the unit apart, well done!

Beret good indeed! Most effective conversions.

Good looking unit, clever conversion. Carlists are the bomb.

Thanks - the transition to being irregulars hasn't harmed their appearance.

Hey, don't blame me - it's all Diego's fault!
