Evening all, Two 10th Hussars completed out of Three, they just need some dry brushing then put a way in the stash awaiting flat top coating. OC.
-
Thank you kindly Mark, the 10th Hussars was the Prince of Wales's Own Royal Hussars, so that may have had an influence over their uniform colour. OC.
-
Thank you so much Ken, its delicate work - needs a steady hand, thats why it can't be rushed. OC.
-
Thank you kindly mate. OC.
-
Evening all, more progress on the Hussars - I touched up the horses giving them some red detail and the rolls on the back where changed to Blue. I then started paintong the hussar figures - with the Shako's that received their Red/White and Yellow details, then I blocked in the jacket's with Blue and picked out the Yellow details - quite a lot of detail in these. OC.
-
Evening all, more work on the 10th Hussars horses - I painted the reins and straps and painted the rest of the details - then a quick dirty wash over the Three of them, they still need some dry dust brushing then in then their riders need painting. OC.

Really nice proress mate - that paint finish looks top notch. OC. -
Evening all, busy few hours on the bench - I made up Three better horses in better galloping poses, I then made up a few different base coat fur colours, I also made up another British Hussar, then primed and added his skin base colour, I then placed the Five mounted riders together. OC.

Cars are an expensive avenue my last one seemed to keep needing money thrown at it. OC.

I will do a bit of dust dry brusing to the French Colonel to tame down the wash. OC.
-
Next I decided to have a look through my stash to see what else I could add/build - I decided to make a French Cuirassier Bugler, and a 2nd KGL mounted Captain that was positioned in the LHS to support Major Baring, I also made up Two additional horses for them. OC.
-
Evening all, I finished the 54th Ligne Colonel and gave him a wash before placing him on his horse - will need the normal flat coat sprayed over later. OC.
-
Thank you for finding that out Edward - something I never knew - mind you I don't know alot about horses - not even been close to one. OC.
-
Thanks Ken, I think its the stance of the Tails - with them galloping at quite a pace I would think theit tails should be flowing back not down, its all to get the correct stance showing the flow of movement - want it to look right as I can. OC.
-
Love what you are doing with this - really nice work Denis. OC.

Folks I am scrubbing the Two 10th Hussar horses as they just don't look right, my admiral pointed out to me the odd tails that loook like they have been cut short, I have some others in my stash so just a case of rebuilding them, in the mean time I will continue with the French mob around the front main gates including Colonel Claude Charlet, the injured 54th Ligne Sapper and the others. OC.
-
Evening all, I have started to paint up French Colonel Claude Charlet and his horse, who was in charge of the 54th Ligne and led the action at LHS, he was under instructions from General Compte d'Erlon to take LHS no matter what. OC.
-
Evening all, right thats Two Hussar horses painted and weathered - given them quite dirty legs, they still need their flat coats. OC.
-
Thank you kindly brother, it makes that a lot clearer now. OC.
-
I don't know much about horses but just googled "Galloping Horses" and some do show a similar pose with both front legs bent at the knee / pointing backwards, and the one back leg further infront than the other. Does that sound right kind of looks it in this internet pic - OC.
-
Thank you Ken, I will gat some heat on the rear most front leg and bend it forward, possibly same with the hidden back leg - bend it back a wee bit. OC.
-
Evening all, right - primer brushed over all the "newbies" then I decided to start with one of the Hussars chargers, this one was painted a dark Redish Brown, then I picked out a few of his details then a few rough washes ot bring out the shadows, he will have some dry bruhed dust around his lower limbs before I paint the saddle. OC.
