Safely received, thanks Jason. No intervention from HM Customs & Excise.
Very nice little figures.
I am already pondering fantastical colour schemes...

If I have the time, and receive the figures soon enough, they will also be a part (or even all) of my LPL 4 round 10 entry… and I got the feeling that we won’t be the only ones ;)

The funny thing is, those Hussar uniforms came in some amazing colors, and that was when worn by men. The possibilities when worn by fashionable women of the Victorian Era, well, one is left speechless....

Glad to see that you've come over to the Dark Side, and I didn't have to be boiled at all.

I am preparing myself to be stunned by what you do with them.

I must like these figures, because unlike most figures that head to the lead-pile to be pondered for an age, I've actually made a start,  lol.
Just undercoated and painted a few bits so far, but still...
These are for my Prussians, but I haven't yet decided whether to go dark blue or pink, as suggested above.

I don't know, I think they look pretty good in your current black.    :)

And sporting the deaths' head, they could be brunswickers...

Mourning Black Brunswickers? Perhaps the nation of Brunwick was destroyed by Anarchist rebels and only a handful of women survived.  ;D

While it's entirely coincidental (it's a Prussian guard hussar uniform she's wearing rather than anything Brunswicker) Viktoria Luise was the Duchess of Brunswick (Braunschweig-Lüneburg), you know.

Im doing the rank and file in a rather lurid paint scheme, not sure they look German now, they may have to be a British unit, or mabbe the uniformed branch of the Godalming Ladies And Diligent Youth Society (Gladys).

I have decided to paint Viki as herself, anyone know if the facings would be silver or white? Im not sure from the posted photographs.

Dunno, I have a colour drawing, and everything is white on that. That may be the artist's way of representing silver, though. Trousers were dark blue, though in her photos it looks like the skirt she had matched her jacket rather than being in the trouser colour.
