Title: Thiel Hussars
Post by: NFlat on April 10, 2024, 05:09:57 PM

Has anyone else done these Thiel hussars?  Bought way back in Munich and only recently painted I found the chest lace a challenge as well as the firearm which seemed too short and had no trigger guard.  Buttons on the chest pretty well defeated me so these are ignored on the 3rd hussar and just gaps in the lace on the 4th.  Only the sixth and seventh flats I have done.  Any advice appreciated.

There is nothing wrong with your painting skills these are quite nice.  But, you are right the cavalry carbine doesn’t look quite right.  They had a trigger guard and the barrel is a little longer - try searching for French cavalry carbine and there are some nice pictures.


Thanks for sharing.
