A large portion of my 25mm Russian Napoleonic cavalry is made up of Del Prado 'Relive Austerlitz' figures. These look quite good and match the Minifigs quite well, however, it has always been my long term aim to replace these with proper Minifigs castings. So far I have assembled a Minifigs Dragoon Regiment and a Hussar Regiment. Today I finished off my second Hussar Regiment.
I always find painting hussars a challenge an with so many small details it is hard to do them justice with gloss paints. This latest unit is the Izumsky (I have found so many different spellings of this name) Regiment, red dolman, piped white, blue breeches and blue pelisse.
Here they are ready to take to the field:
Next, some French Dragoons, that I have already started.
Russian Hussars are the most elegant of all Hussars I think .
ReplyDeleteVery smart!
ReplyDeleteNice job and wonderful colors!
ReplyDelete'Ooo...' thinks I, looking at my reading list, 'these look nice!' So of course I had to have a closer look. And they do and all, a very fine colour scheme!
