28mm Perry Miniature 7th Hussar

Hello folks, Jen and I decided to start a joint blog after two years painting figures.  We have been collaborate on many projects for years.  This hussar will be our first 28mm figures and hopefully we will paint more in the future.

This figure is the French 7th regiment hussar elite captain sculpted by Perry Miniatures.

All the metallic items on this figure is painted with NMM (non-metal metallic) technique.

Free hand painted sabretache.

Beautifully scupted figure, even in plastic!

Detail of the face.

Bottom of the shoe.  I think alot of guys neglect to paint this part.  Small detail but it does make a difference, especially for cavalry figures.

After doing alot of horse study, we decide its good idea to add texture on the hooves, veins, ribs, and correct muscle tones.

We also decided to sculpt the leopard skin on the saddle to break up the  monotonous of the near black horse.


 

Details of the crests and harness.

The horse is actually dark brown rather than black.

Detail of the leopard saddle.

From this angle, some detail on the horse shoe.

Detail of the horse's face.  I try to make the eyes look as realistic as possible rather than just "black".

Well, that is yet so far.  Our first figure on this blog.  I hope you enjoy and comments are very apprecaited!
