I can confirm that the Prussian mounted officers are really beautiful. I've painted them a while ago: http://zedsnappies.blogspot.de/2011/09/secret-preview.html<br /><br />Regarding the HaT Prussian hussars: forget about them. They are top-ugly compared with the 1815 hussars that you already have and they will certainly not mix with them. Have a look:<br />http://zedsnappies.blogspot.de/2011/10/sneak-preview-2-forthcoming-prussians.html<br /><br />Hopefully, the Landwehr will look good...Zed1https://www.blogger.com/profile/18302942452019559750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891265313604303549.post-87373782492705807412012-08-12T19:55:50.544-04:002012-08-12T19:55:50.544-04:00Thanks guys, both your issues will be addressed ve...Thanks guys, both your issues will be addressed very soon!Ben B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11032912544426547612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891265313604303549.post-43428863832967488012012-08-12T14:45:43.434-04:002012-08-12T14:45:43.434-04:00The gun is sick man!

The gun needed a lot of paint converting, the actual kit has very little detail, but I'm pretty happy with it.Ben B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11032912544426547612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891265313604303549.post-10821336942728017702012-08-12T02:52:51.038-04:002012-08-12T02:52:51.038-04:00I like these hussars very much.

The 1815 sets are, as far as I'm concerned, still the best Prussian cavalry set in plastics which is available on the market. <br /><br />Well - if you allow me to make a statement which is meant as constructive criticism: <br />- the blue of the uniforms is certainly a bit too light, a dark blue washing could be helpful here. <br />- as far as I know, trousers were grey on campaign. White trousers were only worn occasionally or on parade<br />- the colour of the officers' sash is wrong. Prussian officers wore sashes in silver with black liningZed1https://www.blogger.com/profile/18302942452019559750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891265313604303549.post-84711836276926353072012-08-11T21:54:16.645-04:002012-08-11T21:54:16.645-04:00nice! the colours are great, and the gun looks goo...nice! the colours are great, and the gun looks goodDaisy Gowan Ditchburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07476802587483833107noreply@blogger.com
