French 4th Hussars








Twenty four figures (4 squadrons of 6) of the 4th Hussars are done - Perry plastics which are excellent figures and I love the variety one can get with the horses. These chaps need to be brigaded with another light cavalry regiment and I've decided to use Perry metal Chasseurs a cheval but with a twist. The late chasseur uniform is, in my view, a tad dull so I will give them all full dress plumes using the dozens of plastic plumes I have left over from the Hussar boxes.

This will, I hope, make them look rather spectacular.

  2. Morning Nigel,

    Lovely work! How did you go about applying the braid on the dolmans and pelisses? And how long did it take you to turn out this unit?

    Best Regards,

  7. Beautiful Nigel - I agree, the Perry's plastic French cavalry are a joy to build and paint - superb figures, beautifully done.

    Cheers,
