Then a wash of Vallejo Reddish Brown Ink/Stain was applied. After this, I went back with some Flesh+White over highlights. Muted colors were used for the cloaks and tunics & geometric patterns. I really like Vallejo - however, I've yet to try other paints like Foundry, etc. - which I'm sure are just as good. I also use some craft store paints - not as good as Vallejo in coverage though.

I think the only thing I'm aware of is you shouldn't take a blow-dryer with heat on to dry them faster. You could get away with this with metals. The plastic might warp from the heat. I use washes, but mainly for shading. I don't use the dip method either. Tried it once, but didn't like the results.

I have to say the figures do feel very sturdy. In fact, I've dropped them several times with no ill-effects. I like these plastics, and think they'll hold up to gaming very well.

It IS fiddly, but no more so than many other bits of hussar! I notice the sheet that comes with the box gives a pretty good readout of all the hussar regiments and even the Honour Guard if you wanted to do them. I have to say that they and the Ospreys are the best on French hussars unless you're fortunate enough (like me) to have the old Historex guide - then all you have do is translate the colours from French! I'm finishing my dragoons at present so I'll watch what you do with the hussars with eager anticipation!<br /><br />Cheers,<br /> DocDoc Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12454394616689797734noreply@blogger.com
