WIP 5 Rgt Ruesch Hussars . 1735

[Viking Bob]

Stormtroopers 75mm

5th Rgt Ruesch Hussars 1753
Known as the black hussars (die Schwarzen Husaren) because of their black uniforms, or die Totenköpfe. Trumpeters of the regiment did not have the deaths head badge on the mirliton. Thanks to Dr bison and the baron for the info
The whole figure has been undercoated in chaos black rattle can spray, the uniform has a wash of black/ black brown and dark blue. The face has been painted in acrylic and is complete.

Looks somewhat sinister, I like the black and white lace work, that must be a strain on the eyes. Really like the face as well, it's going to be a stunning figure.

Cheers Simon

Thank you Simon, I am doing half of the jacket at a time and yes it's doing my head in.
I have had help from two members on here and their help was invaluable. We are lucky to have such members.

Love his elegant pose and the contrast between his fair skin/hair and the black uniform you created.

I like the effect that the dotted lines give, it takes a long time to do but the result is there.

Thank you all
Its a slow process on the lace details but it will be worth it in the end
