This one is from Stormtrooper's and is a 1/9th scale Bust. This is my progress so far, the face is painted in oils but the rest in acrylic. From the references I have seen the lacing on the is black, buttons are silver. I am not as fast as some on here (Geoff) but this will take time as there is quite a bit of detail. so now to the photos and I hope you likey.

Hey Bob,

Here is a picture of a Hussar Trumpet of the 8th Regiment, that might be a help to you.

A great start with that face Bob.
I think that he will be a right corker on completion.

Thank you every one who commented on this one, I have other references to go by, here are just a few. The one you gave Joel, is supplied by stormtroopers.



8th hussars 1812.jpeg this one is around 1812 and shows the black lacing and frogging. 8yh hussars 1812 A.jpeg this one is about 1805-07 but shows the plume colours that I will use, although I can't remember what Squadron the yellow denotes,
Thanks for looking in, more soon.
Regards
