SYW - Austrian Army: Hussar of the Regiment Nádasdy - WIP - Part 2

Figure:  Wargames Foundry

Scale:  28mm

Though the rest of the regiment isn't ready for action yet, I would like to show you the first completed figure with the finished pelisse that was missing in my former post.

And I´m very glad that I found another uniform plate showing this regiment. And it shows it right in the way I painted it. I found the plate in a Warrior-book from Osprey. The uniform is the same shown also by Funcken and another source that can be found on internet (http://www.kuk-wehrmacht.de/regiment/husaren/h09.html). The only question is whether the different sources copied each other ?! But I won´t care about that too much because the combination of colors looks very nice.

And here´s my first finished hussar of that regiment.

The horses are already primed and based with the ground colors. The one in the first row is almost finished.

The other hussars are also already primed and also painted with the green ground color. As I wanted to test the use of "glazing medium" a friend of mine gave to me, I tried the effect of that medium on some pelisses.

I´m always afraid of painting cavalry because of the horses. But this time I enjoy this paint job very much.

May the dice be with you. ;)

Cheers

Mike
