Rare Leibhusaren steam carriage photos
« on: 24 September 2011, 09:49:55 PM »
Gentlemen and Ladies,
I was sorting through some boxes of old photographs and discovered a few rare images of Princess Victoria Luise's Leibhusaren No.2 on maneuvers, prior to the outbreak of hostilities. I have done some preliminary research, and to my knowledge these photos have not been shown before. Enjoy,
Dr. Mathias





Sincere thanks to Pappa Midnight for posting pictures of the steam horse carriage, based off a cheap plastic wedding favor. Clearly, an idea I was obviously more than willing to steal. The figures are the wonderful Hinterland female hussars.
a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice.

Such a great extension is not theft! Homage, perhaps...  lol

Truly, in a direction I'd never had considered, but then, I'm not likely to put a teapot to use, so this group will continue to delight and astound, no?

These are just so darned much fun!

Thank you for the comments, I think they're a big improvement over the Husarenwagen Mk.1 that I entered in the LPL. Here is a color picture including the command group, which gives a better view of the conveyance:

Beautiful work!  :-* I doubt there has ever been a more elegant battle taxi!  ;)

Very nice work and a brilliant choice of vehicles that goes perfectly with the figures.
