Based (and cold) dragoon

Yesterday I was creating the base for the next model, which will be a dismounted hussar. Deciding on the form the final model base will take gave me some ideas for the bases of the "Comrades in Arms" as well as for the Dragoon in his white greatcoat.

The dragoon is on the long retreat from Moscow and the snow is deep on the ground. Despite being surrounded on both side by trees, the bitterly cold wind is blowing in his face.

His hands have been wrapped in strips of cloth as he has no gloves. The once white greatcoat is now filthy with mud, but his musket is still in clean and working condition.
