As the upcoming release of an Imperial German Hussar by Michael Miniatures has been mentioned elsewhere I thought I'd post this.

4th Hussar

Just did see this thread. Photos attached of the Imperial German 4th Hussar uniform in the Cramer Museum. This is the same uniform as it came from the Kube Auction.A different mannequin head was used.
I am writing the copy for the kit and in my research of the Hussar regiments I have come to know that the 4th Hussar bust can with no changes to the bust, be painted as any of the following Hussar Regiments: 4th, 6th, 9th,10th 11th and 14th. Only the paint color will change. The table below shows the paint guide changes for each regiment.

Mike, many thanks for posting these photo's. Having tantalised us with these do you have any plans to release any of them in your range of busts. That Philadelphia cavalry helmet with that uniform would make a stunning sunject.

Thanks for looking. Hope to make busts of all of them. The 4th Hussar is done sculpted by Carl Reid. This bust is unique, go to Michaelminiatures.com and see the detail page for the 4th Hussar ,the same bust can be painted 6 different regiments.With no change to the casting. The Philadelphia First cavalry bust is being sculpted by Aaron Brown.
Thanks,
Mike
