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.
ReplyDeleteI always pin swapped heads as otherwise the head will detach in years to come and be at risk of loss.
Or perhaps a flask of schnapps.
DeleteHere is a picture of Von Lutzow with a dolman and I think a pelisse.

Interesting. The pelisse is lined in brown fur. I am going to leave mine as it is.
