Foundry Austrian Cav - WIP

More Foundry Napoleonics from a recent TMP trade - just four Hungarian Hussars - painted as the 4th Hessen-Homburg Regiment. Too bad they didn't come in full-dress as the red breeches would've really made these guys colorful. Hopefully, the red horse blankets should add a lot more color once they're mounted. The actual braiding is yellow and black, but I'll just let the Minwax stain give it that appearance over the yellow. Note the four Austrian Cuirassiers in the background next in the queue. I plan to combine both of these small units into one group for Sharp Practice.
A Hungarian 4th Hussar in full-dress. Looks like I need to change their stirrup straps to black.

    Beautiful painting Dean, they look pretty colorful even without the full dress red breeches.

    Thanks, Cyrus. It has to be the pale-blue shako and "parrot" green jacket combo. Best, Dean

    Actually why not go ahead and paint them red anyway. Look forward to the finished product anyway.
