Very nice work! My 3rd regiment is in campaign dress, but when I see this I want them in full dress as well |

Beautiful painting! I like the ground work which doesn't overwhelm the miniatures. I see you mixed Foundry with a Front Rank officer. Works here in a group setting. |

Since these figs are so beautiful, I'm going to nit pick. When I paint hussars, one of my criteria for full vs. field dress is – are the pelisses the same color as the dolmons? Where they are the same, as with this unit, I usually go in for either worn pelisses or dolmons, with FD for trumpeter and maybe officer. I guess that's not really criticism. So much the better. Great figures, great paint work. I especially appreciate the differences in horse colors. Most ignore the fact that the horses are INDIVIDUALS. Bravo. |

My favourite hussar regiment and you got that colour perfect, well done Blue,
BTW what paints/colours did you actually use for the Uniform? Cheers and happy gaming with the unit. |

Units which are painted this well usually rout off the table the first chance they get. In all seriousness though, terrific job. |

Yes, I forgot to mention that the officer is a Chasseur à cheval of the guard from Front Rank:
link I use Humbrol colours
To obtain the colour of the 3rd regiment, I undercoated with Blue-Grey 96, then I brushed with Light Grey 64 Thank you all for your kind comments |

Thanks Max will look through my old Humbrol tins to see how I can convert. Again nice work |
