Lookin good Captain...........Oops the guy in front has a missing white strap :tongue:%^V

 

[Captain]

No Rob, He's an officer his strap is red with brass studs on it. Super good eye though. I'm sure there is something I missed somewhere on these guys though.

Capt.,

you have done a great job on these Hussars for the 1st Regt.

I do like the background used for the images and the base, well done.

I painted my set as the 5th Regt.

Its an old image, but also shows off these great plastic figures.

Thanks Obee. Your paint jobs are terrific. I'm really not very familiar with this time period and especially Hussars. What are the the small packs that are dangling off these fellas left sides? (The ones that are painted red on your figs)

hi Guys

great figures - pity that Italeri seems to have withdrawn them as they aint on general sale at the moment
The horses in particular are very detailed and excellent action/movement posture

What are the the small packs that are dangling off these fellas left sides?

These are called Sabretaches and hung off the belt that also held the sabre.

It was a leather case and could hold correspondence or dispatches, and was quite ornamental with embroidery or metal badges.

here are some examples:

Thanks Obee. I cant pronounce it but at least I know what they are for.

Nice painted figures you both have done. It's always a pleasure to see other's work.

That's one of the "prettiest" sets they make. I bought several and left them unpainted to "play" with. The original plastic color works as one of the French units.

Obie's and Captain's painted ones look beautiful.

Great photos and painting on the cavalry figures Captain. I still have a set to paint. Are your pics posted from photobucket? They are so clear and are larger to view. I lost my "notes" on using photobucket but will try again. Thanks for posting. john

 

[Captain]

Yes Leadmen, they are from Photobucket.

Nice job Capt!
I converted a few of mine into Prussian Brandenburg Hussars. I still need to do more but I still have to many other projects to finish first.
Great job!

Very nice Captain, and Obee & Tim.

 

[Captain]

This is great. I'm enjoying seeing what everyone has done with their Hussars. Hopefully more folks will post pics too.

 

[Leadmen]

Great thread. Nice work Tim on your mounted figures. I am inspired to maybe paint today. Ice storm and snow, as long has I have power I should work on my hobby. J

Here's a set I painted in gloss. Guess I lost the 4th figure. I also attached the Italeri Dragoons.

 

[Captain]

When I painted my 4 pcs. I was just going by the box for color scheme etc. If and when I get around to the other 4 pcs. I think I'll do a little research and paint them as a different regiment.
