Flintloque factory
Winged hussar horses assembled. The wings are really delicate because the metal is so soft. I guess these figures are from the days before the lead ban.

Lancer horses being cleaned. Interestingly the blister contained completely different sculpts.

Cleaning the riders. They are a bit irritating to handle being so skinny there's no room to drill and insert a butt spike for holding.

Jeeps and weapon teams done.

Hammer's Slammers
I'm not quite sure if the Slammers ever used mounted weapons in the books. And if you look closely, these aren't even Slammers figures. They are close, but not really.

According to the painting instruction in the box, the lancers have black uniforms.
