10th Hussars (2 Viewers)

[aujj65]

Bernard has been at it again!......so here we have a touch up or more probably once I get going a "total gloss over" of a set of the 10th Hussars.

Here are a couple of shots showing their original state. I will be slapping a bit of paint on here and there whilst the undercoat on Konrads figures are drying.

Jeff - -are you merely touching these up -- or is a total repaint forthcoming?

Bernard has given me total control over these .....these are a little tatty in places so a total repaint is in the making, have started already with the busby bag and plume.

Hi Simon,

Strangely enough I’ve just purchased a new tin of the Old Humbrol Nectar, but there isn’t any green on these fellows…………apart from the horses of course!!

Yo Troopers, just knocked up this label, haven't printed it yet. The photo is a bit grainy, its the only one I could get with the black and white plume. The 1858 photo they had a red & white plume !DOH!, so my mistake but what the hell. Whats the opinion guys does it look OK.

Looks good to me Bernard.

 

[aujj65]

That looks like a Greenish uniform if I'm not mistaken!!

Jeff

 

[Wraith]

Any excuse to use up the surplus hey Jeff?

 

[aujj65]

Still no green...sigh!.....but I got round to re-painting the tunics, breeches, boots, saddles and horses.

Think this Regiment wore GREEN socks inside their boots.

Yo Troopers, just did another design label for the 10th Hussars, wasn't happy with the other one with the Mounted Officer in Khaki in the photo, plus Khaki its a slight GREEN colour, might have been to much of a temptation lol . Had to change the plume colour to black in the paint programme so I could get the 1856 photo.

Nice avator Jeff. I saw a tin that colour, many, many years ago. How much are they fetching nowadays?
