Von Lutzow

I needed a Ludwig Adolf Wilhelm Freiherr von Lützow figure to command my von Lutzowers.  So a quick conversion was needed.

Using a recast Prussian Hussar as the starting point I used my dremmel to remove the carbine and fashion a small pouch at the end if the cross belt.




I then added the buttons down the trouser using the point of a file.  I then bent the sword arm so the sword was at porte rather than straight ahead in a charging pose as this more a officer inspiring his troops.

Finally I cut off the head and replaced it with a Prussian Guard Officers head with feathered shako.

All in all not to complex a conversion.

    Bravo! He's going to look rather flash in hussar costume, Mark.

      Hi WM

      I was inspired by seeing your Von Lutzow in person in Sedbergh.

      Hopefully he will not take too long. I also have a recast Blucher on the go.

      I only use recast figures conversions as I have not plucked up the courage to try it on an original figure.

      I hope to have him done by next weekend.

      And to para phrase Eric.

      I will be painting all the right colours, but not necessarily in the right order
