Just posted a few pictures and historical background info on the 2nd Prussian Leibhusaren on my blog:

All the minis are Calpe 28mm.

And to wet your mouths... here is a preview:

Black uniforms are hard to paint and get it right.
Love how you have painted yours.

Thank you!

I always highlight black with a mix of black and dark blue. Looks the best IMHO.

Really nicely painted figures and horses.

Black is tricky and you've done them well.

I've also started painting black with some blue (and sometimes brown as well) but I think that just the right amount of grey also makes a huge difference.

I look forward to seeing some more images.

Cheers,

Paul
