Some Info Pics.






The last part of the 19th century saw the art of military tailoring at its zenith. A prime example of that art was the undress patrol jacket worn by cavalry regiments. Heavily braided with black mohair lace on the chest and edged all round with black Astrakhan fur, Every regiment had its own (and in some cases unique) pattern of jacket. These were all illustrated in the1900 regulations.

Above are examples of the jackets worn by the regiment. Note the black mohair Busby lines worn around the front of the 8th Hussars patrol jacket. A unique feature peculiar to this regiment. ONLY

Thats some great sculpt.

Marc

Thank you Marc.
It is made from the original of a Offo Sculpt for me which was a full Bust



Im pleased you like it.
Mick

Yes as a V bust it could be any think you wanted within reason. Did look at keeping the arms to show he was a skin but a) didnt look right and wanted to keep them Uniform. b) If folkes want it as a skin they have the full Bust.
Also flipped the flappy bit around on the bandolier .

Mick

Thanks guys for the nice comments, this is a move in the right direction for Mick's Mick's as you now have a chance to buy the version that suits your taste.

A big thank you should go to Tommi for turning Offo's great sculpt into a great Vbust . The others will be out very soon keep an eye on the web site and we hope to see you at Euro Miniatures Expo very soon.

as Mick has said the Vbust can be bought as part of our Vbust package just let us know which one's you would like as part of the deal.

cheers
