Excellent work on those conversions! A great looking unit overall.

Thank you so much everybody! Really nice hearing you all like them. Should get some cavalry photos up this weekend!
@Blue: hi mate nice to see you here. What stuff do you paint here...and where are my b@&#*y goblins! Lol!

[valleyboy]

I must add my congratulations as well - that's really nice stuff you have there V

[vulcanologist]

Thanks Valley! Had to do xmas shopping today and take the kids to see Santa but I'll definitely get some Hussar pics up tomorrow!

[Hummster]

Very nice work there on the tartans. Got to say I'm glad I got over my fear of painting them this year, but not done as well as you.

[vulcanologist]

Well I'm only 4 months late taking the pictures of my 1st KGL Hussars!  Sorry about that! Well better late than never! Hope you all like them? Oh and please check out the new blog I've started it's got all sorts of different stuff on it... here's the link:

Some great work here especially the Tartan on the highlanders....two things you might want to try.....black linning around the white belt straps will really make them pop and I would go a matt varnish to tone the sheen down a tad as well as protecting the minis.

Excellent work mate

Thank you very much guys! I've bought some Testors dullcoat but haven't used it yet!

Nice looking unit! The Dullkote will make them look even better.

Hi mate.

Are those British hussars Perry plastics? I think they are superb. I really liked your Highlanders as well - probably some of the best 28mm painted tartan I have ever seen.

Hi Brian,
Thank you so much! Really glad you like my Highlanders...still trying to psych myself up to paint the remaining 6...it definitely takes a certain amount of masochism to paint tartan! The Highlanders are Victrix and yes the Hussars are Perry plastics. I thought both sets were excellent! I've just finished another regiment of infantry...this time I used Perry plastics but again I thought they were really good! I'll try to get some pictures taken soon.
Thanks again for your comments.

I don't mind the delay seeing as how I missed those wonderful tartans the first time.

[vulcanologist]

Thank you Fram, my tartan does seem to be quite popular! When I get round to painting my last 6 Highlanders I'll try and show how I do it.
