I have built this Prussian cavalry regiment, whose more striking uniform feature was a hussar-braided litewka. I have used the Italeri 6008 French Hussars (figures wearing the pelisse), modeling the litewka coats with plasticine.

They look pretty good. Another way might have been to paint the braiding onto a litewka? I have been finding games workshops liquidf greenstuff useful for such things (and epasulets, plumes and pom poms) if you can get it? |

You did a pretty good job on those. Sadly I have 15mm's and haven't seen anything yet to do this so it's maybe the only Prussian unit I need. I have substituted a East Prussian Landwehr Regiment in my OOB. |

Very nice job. Well researched and executed. I love the "odd ball" units like this. Without them, the Prussians would be pretty boring. Tom |

I suppose then green stuff will suffice for the job but with no wargaming shop nearby, and plasticine from my kids around, I find more easy to use the last! |
