Officer 7th Hussars - Mitches Military Models

[MCPWilk]

First class figure from a master sculptor. Good to show that it wasn't just the Continental armies that had exuberant uniforms!

Wow, that's a great figure. And I usually don't take an interest in Napoleonics!

Cheers,

Pardon this question from a Napoleanics newbee, but which colours would be the right ones for this guy?
A Google search gives me all sorts of colours, but I lack the knowledge to see which one is right.
I'm really considering to try this...

Thanks,
Adrian

Hi Adrian

I think this would be your best reference. Unless anyone else could suggest another

Ref Officer 7th hussars this gives me a chance for some alliteration;

That's the 'rong rank Ross'
As 'He's a horfficer hadrian'
there are differences
See image below, trooper and nco top right pair.

Thanks Paul, I can see you know your stuff!

Naaaaaaah got books.

Gotta go,

I am trying to invent braille porn.
Have you any idea how rude :;-...:: is?

It's great fun.

Thanks guys.
These nappies quite intimidate me to be honest. More difficult than German camouflage patterns, if you ask me...

Sorry, but more questions:
- so his boots should be black? (The figure wears them differently than the plates)
- can he have the light grey pants with white lacing like on the bottom left of Paul's plate? Would that entail a lot of changes to the figure? They look very similar to me (but If I do a nappie he must be colourful!)

Thanks!
Adrian

Sorry mate the others are different regiments .
The 7th hussars troopers and NCos wore dark blue all over with yellow braiding and silver buttons and a red busby bag.
Officers gold instead of yellow and silver buttons with a hair plume instead of a worsted tuft.

Pm on it's way

His breeches would have been buckskin (white/off-white) and his boots black with gold trim.
