that's great... a little touch can be the dolman that sort from the sash but isn't mandatory
only check the fur on the sleeves ... isn't correct

Nice piece Gra/Moz
You gotta shorten the fur cuff and lengthen the vertical part , minor tweak for you guys but you know the nap stuff gotta be spotters

Wow. Wow. Wow. Can't wait until this is available. Wow.
Hi!
I am not sure about the feasability of wearing "three clothing" or the un/correct fur cuff... However, I am truly convinced that this is the best Hussar I've ever seen and I immediately recognized the "Duelists" as soon I looked at the face (no comments on this?).
Me, I am particularly impressed by this sculpt, though I cannot help on the clothing discussion.
If I may, I would never lay the sword edge this way (if you have passed your finger over a sharp edge you'll understand it), so I'll turn the hand a bit to the right, with the opposite side of the edge laying on the chest. Another suggestion: all those who have praticed fencing know the thumb does not "close" the fist, but is kept vertical to direct better the sword. Only at the very moment of thrusting, we close the fist. I've never seen a figure showing this detail correctly. Easy to correct, anyway.
Again Moz, brilliant work and thank you, Gra for this great new addition to your list.
One for me, please!!!!

The more I look at this the better I think it is. Great 'hussar' swagger about him. Will surely paint up / convert into all manner of colourful versions. Definitely on the list for the future.

It would be nice if it came with different plates.

I am not sure I would rely on the sketch as accurate....only twelve rows of braid!!??
The reenactor only has three columns of buttons...I am very wary of using recreated uniforms as references. They get a lot right but often get subleties very wrong....plus the best uniforms are often worn by fat old men like me as they are the only ones who can afford the prices.

hi CRF
I agree with you about the number of buttons but I suppose that Michel Petard simplified the dwaing to be it more visible. Petard is a very well know french historian that wrote books and made articles for many french magazines.
related to the reenactor I don't agree with you. I know many reenactor absolutely correct from the historical point of view.

It is my understanding that the 2nd, 4th, 5th, 9th, and 10th Regiments had three rows and the rest had five. The Re-enactor of the 5th Regiment is right, it's the model thats wrong (if the shako plate with the 5 is used).
Both of the models shown here also have all the Pelisse loops of the same length. The top five loops on the right side should be longer as these were the only ones that could be fastened.

God this is getting out of hand. I see it for what it is, the sculptors interpretation of a Hussar. It is the basis for any competent modeller to convert it to any Regt he wants. If you want 101 per cent accuracy bearing in mind we are looking at something from over 200 years ago so no body knows for certain, then the answer is that you go and sculpt your own.
