Title: Swedish-style Hussars (WIP) for my VBCW army
Post by: frontal assault on November 21, 2011, 02:14:00 PM

I've spent the last few days working on some of the Hinterland female Hussars I bought for my VBCW army and while they're not quite finished, I just wanted to get some thoughts on them.

Cool!

I don't know if it is the light but it seems like you've picked a shade of blue which brings Ukraine to mind rather than Sweden. The blue in our flag is somewhat darker, even more so in the historical uniform.

I'd like to see these gals a little farther along before commenting, but the blue could be a little darker.  I was thinking of painting up something similar for my Mom's birthday, and after doing a Google image search on Swedish Hussars, I'm probably going to go with the blue or yellow as the primary color, and use the other only for the cuffs, facings, etc.  Not really a suggestion, but just another idea.

Cheers,
Jason
