Really nice brushwork! First blog but assuming not first attempt at painting then?LOL

Defiant01 Oct 2009 7:07 p.m. PST

no worries mate, I especially like the busbies, can you run through what you did to get the realistic look they have ?

GeorgethePug01 Oct 2009 7:28 p.m. PST

Black undercoat and foundy 1-2-3 easy as that …….. but the busbies were dry brushed

GeorgethePug02 Oct 2009 6:41 a.m. PST

Next coming will be the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd KGL Hussars and the British 7th and 15th Hussars

George,
Liked your 7th & 18th AB Hussars.Maybe they would look a little better on AB light Cavalry horses .The standing Heavy cavalry horses just don`t look right with charging hussars.Otherwise very well done.
Regards,

Hi Colbert –

As stated in the blog …….. the horses and the base were temp only ………… this is not a finished unit …. just some fast photo's on a old horse base I have on the photo table

GeorgethePug02 Oct 2009 7:05 a.m. PST

Colbert ………. about the GMB flags …… are they nicer then the AB ? what are your thoughts ? I'm looking for flags for my project …. I have all the AB but if the GMB are much better then I will change over

George,
The AB flags that Ian @ Fighting 15`s has are nice. The GMB 15mm flags are better(beautiful) the Russian & 1806 Prussian flags are just fantastic.
You`ve got to try them….
Regards,

GeorgethePug02 Oct 2009 10:34 a.m. PST

Thanks …….. I did email GMB for the flag list … prices look resonable …. so what the heck .. I will give them a try !!
