Using left over parts from previous kits, went ahead and put together a few Pavlograd Hussars carrying lances.
Perry Britsh Hussar bodies/legs and sabretaches/sabers; Victrix Polish Lancer right arms/lances and horses; and Perry Russian kiwer heads.I scalpeled off the gauntlet cuffs on the lancer right arms, as well as the "N" and eagle monograms from the shabraques. Oh, I just now noticed that I need to add hilts to the scabbards.I like the color combination of their uniform - dark green dolman with turquoise blue facings. I'll have to paint the dog tooth ends of the shabraques.I also had to scalpel off the bread bags from the British Hussar bodies; as well as some of the saddle to fit the leg better.I'll likely add some of the Perry metal Russian Hussars to make a unit of 8 figures (the size I use for standard Black Powder cavalry units).
Smart looking conversions, very nice!

Thanks, Neil! Yes, in fact, I found a few swords in scabbards w/sabretaches - replaced the ones in the images above. Warmest regards, Ddean
DeleteAdmirable recycling Dean! These look very promising. Looking forward to seeing them finished in those smart uniforms.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mike. Yes, waste not, want not :) Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteFor you, this will be a "small" project. I look forward to the results.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jonathan. I'm hoping the Perrys will release plastic Russian Hussars - after the Prussian/Russian Dragoon set. Warm regards, Dean
DeleteVery nice work Dean 👍
ReplyDeleteThanks, Matt! Best, Dean
DeleteLook forward to see your painting! A note: there is French Eagle on this horses. Will you eleminate this?
ReplyDeleteThank you. Yes, I scalped it off - and will paint the Russian cypher over it. Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteThat sir is some serious coolness. Way to kitbash!
ReplyDeleteCheers

Thanks, Kevin - hussars with lancer - and 1812 kiwer, yes, I like that. :) Best regards, Dean
DeleteLooking great sir!
ReplyDeleteThank you kindly, Michal! Warm regards, Dean
DeleteDean, an interesting project - the Pavlograd hussar regiment. I advise you to dye your teeth red on the saddlecloths. Sometimes they are confused and painted yellow. All cords are completely red. No yellow cords. Only the officers have gold.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dmitry! Yes, I see there was a change in braiding and saddlecloths in 1809; however, I think I'm still doing yellow braiding on the dolman. Saddle cloth will have red edging though. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteDean, the choice is of course yours, but there are original things in museums. There are no yellow laces at all.
DeleteIt looks very promising.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Bartek! Best regards, Dean
DeleteWow, the level of detail in these sculpts are amazing!
ReplyDeleteYes, very nice sculpts. Wish I had some Green Stuff sculpting skills to enhance the conversions. Warmest regards, Dean
