I have got the main colours completed and have started on the white bits. Once I have the main colours on I then go over and clean up the black items before adding the final details and the all important tidy up to get, as close as I can, clean lines between the colours. The braid on the front of the jacket will need particular attention on these figures.
The finished unit of combined 1st/8th Hussars will join the Carabiniers to bring my French Cavalry strength up to 2 regiments.
I have also started prepping 6 recast British Dragoons in bicornes to add a second unit to my allied cavalry.

They are already looking superb, Mark.
You have my every sympathy!

Very nice Mark - I really like that blue!
I have a unit of one piece casting French Hussars in the waiting queue. They are some way down the list though.
Hi Ian
I started with Vallejo Deep Sky Blue but the colour did not look right. I therefore washed over with FW Indigo acrylic ink which stained to the paint rather nicely.
I will probably add a few touches of Humbrol Pastel Blue to add a highlight to finish.
