Saturday mornings progress. Almost finished the horse and furniture, next step the rider.

Roger.

Cheers Carl, should be a nice little piece when finished..... hopefully

Roger.

The more i see of these flats the more i like them, nice work Roger.

Steve

Thanks Steve. Go on give one a go, they're inexpensive, there's a massive range of subjects to choose from and they're fun to paint, however, that's just my opinion

Roger.

Roger,
Great work on the horse!
I´m curious to see the paintwork on the figure.

cheers,
Marcel.

Thank you Marcel. Due to my poor research I have had to change which regiment is being depicted. I will need to repaint the saddlecloth and a couple of smaller details before moving onto the uniform.

At least I didn't get too far before noticing.

Roger.

Very promising paintwork sofar.
If you need repaint something, let it be a lesson for the future to research first before you slap any paint on a figure .

Marc

Yes, thank you Marc You would have thought I would know that by now.

Roger.

Maybe we are to old to remember something.

Marc

That sounds like a very good excuse to me mate

I assumed all Hussar regiments wore the pelisse (Pelz), sadly that wasn't the case in the German army. It's use was abolished in 1852. In 1865 the Lifeguard Hussars were permitted to wear it again and subsequently eight other regiments received it. The regiment I chose to paint, Nr.10, wasn't one of them

I remember a Royal Marine sergeant once telling me assumption is the mother of all **** ups. Sound advice, sadly forgotten until now.

Roger.
