I added a bit of gold and silver bling to act as a contrast with the black uniform. I had a bit of trouble as his head came off and I have to reinforce with a small pin.
I added a small leather knapsack to help cover up the area where the the stock of the carbine had bee.
I could not find any reference to Lutzow ever wearing a hussar uniform . But then again I could find any references that said he did not wear one.
I used my pea dot effect on the sheepskin saddle cloth using 2 different shades of grey. Whilst slight cartoonist I do like the effect. I used the same effect to edge the fur on the pelisse.

Very lovely and with a nice action feel to him. I love the 'small leather knapsack' Possibly for his pipe and tobacco.
I always pin swapped heads as otherwise the head will detach in years to come and be at risk of loss.
Here is a picture of Von Lutzow with a dolman and I think a pelisse.

Nicely done.
Great work Mark!
He is totally brilliant, Mark!
Or perhaps a flask of schnapps.
Interesting. The pelisse is lined in brown fur. I am going to leave mine as it is.
Thanks for the link
He's a beauty, well done Mark
