How do they shape up to the Alban hussar figures which you mentioned previously.<br /><br />Guyguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02346804356499461777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5486634797266444464.post-77178471650135040082010-08-07T18:12:50.474+01:002010-08-07T18:12:50.474+01:00That looks a really good & useful addition to ...That looks a really good & useful addition to your collection.

What a collection. They're going to be a great addition to your fine Austrian army - we'll look forward to seeing them in action at the next garage stoush! <br /><br />I know what you and Noel are getting at re gloss vs a matt finish. Just have a look at Phil Ollie's latest blog - his SYW-type figures look fantastic. Funnily enough the painter dip gives a glossy finish too which I'm sure you could leave rather than put a coat of matt varnish over it. I dunno - I think its a case of doing 'em all in one finish or the other - but gloss can look really effective, particularly with colourful uniforms.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /> DocDoc Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12454394616689797734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5486634797266444464.post-39046785260809460762010-08-06T09:08:31.996+01:002010-08-06T09:08:31.996+01:00Oddly enough I seem to have been having similar th...Oddly enough I seem to have been having similar thoughts regarding gloss varnish of late and have just used gloss for the first time on a sample skirmish screen that I painted the other day. I'm still not certain about the result but I might also try it on the horse battery I'm painting at the moment.<br /><br />Noel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5486634797266444464.post-44589189893584892010-08-05T19:33:54.397+01:002010-08-05T19:33:54.397+01:00Chris,

My views regarding the uniforms is similar to your own which probably accounts for the fact that I don't have any hussars in my Austrain army but strangely 2 regiments of Uhlans!<br />Hope they fight as well as they look.TonyDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16128378188939992417noreply@blogger.com
