As a change from 20mm plastic Jacobites I've been painting up my next regiment for my SYW-ish project . They are the Prussian Hussar Regiment Wechmar .
They were nicknamed 'Capuchins' or the 'Fleishhakers' as brown was the colour of the guild of butchers.
I've got a half of them done and thought I would get them varnished .
I think I will have to invest in another tin of varnish as this one has died .
I have also cast up a couple of figures for an officer and trumpeter - I will have to cut off the trumpet from the musician figure and fit it onto the Hussar as there isn't a Hussar trumpeter . I will post better photos when I get them finished.
What dashing fellows!
ReplyDeleteI find it an interesting colour scheme .
DeleteA lovely choice of unit Tony...
ReplyDeleteThe brown should come up nicely... once it’s varnished... ;-)
All the best. Aly
Yes it needs a coat of varnish to make it 'pop' !
DeleteLovely work.... I don't think I have ever used up a tin of varnish before it sets.
ReplyDeleteThink if you were varnishing a boat you might , figures however lucky to get half a tin used .
