The British Board of Ordnance Heavy Dragoon Pistol, Pattern or 1738 is now available in Free Stuff. The P1738 was developed during the first serious attempt to standardize martial firelocks in Crown Service. Offered in both pistol bore (.56 cal,) and carbine bore (.66 cal,), the P1738 was a practical, sturdy horse pistol graced with the decorative flair common to all early Georgian firelocks including the P1742 Long land Musket. Pistols of this type served well into the 19th century. The model comes with a poseable cock and frizzen using the Twist slider in DAZ Studio Parameters. The 4K textures are divided by material type and set light to allow freedom to easily darken or tone for taste or scene lighting. The top pistol in the image was rendered using this technique. The model also responds well to enhanced textures, particularly the flint and woods. The bottom pistol was rendered with wood textures by Rendernode (stock) and Dimension Theory (rammer). The flint was also retextured by Dimension Theory. All of this took seconds - assuming you have the goodies :) For grins, take a peek of the comparatively primitive Queen Anne dragoon from thirty years before. Essentially the same, but different in most regards. Then consider the P1738's service run of at least eighty years without significant change. So, if you have an historical, fantasy, pirate, or any other scene needing an 18th century horse pistol - here's another. Enjoy!
