My Second Unit of Austrian Hussars

Or more properly Hussar Regiment No. 4 Hessen-Homberg.  These were part of a windfall, impromptu purchase from Stan.  They required basing and a bit of TLC to repair some paint chips, but I also re-lifed them by redoing their shakos and adding a brighter green highlight to their jackets and same to their pants.  While Essex figures are not my favourite, they have come up a treat!  They join my other Essex Austrian Hussar regiment that I completed back in April and which can be seen here:

The flags come moulded on which meant I had to hand paint it.  Not a lot of fun, but it will do.

This last image was taken without the flash and shows just how dark the colours are.  

I've seen the Hessen-Homburg regiment painted up in almost a fluoro green,

but that's not for me.
