Title: Napoleonic Russian Hussar and Hussar Lancer recommendations
Post by: Not Drowning, Waving on 25 December 2018, 10:06:35 AM
So fairly new to 10mm, and intent on 1812 and 1813-14 campaigns. The Russian range seems neglected, only the older sculpts and a very incomplete range! Keen to know how you tackle the glorious hussar regiments, especially given the need for front rank hussar lancers. Cheers LPWC.

If there are none with lances then add plastic rod secured behind right upper arm. Then paint the leather securing loop onto the figure. Squish the Lance tip with pliers to flatten it and use nail clippers to cut to a point. Hey presto.

Thanks Dr Dave - converting Hussars I have realised is the only option. I did a lot of 20mm conversions so will take the plunge with these 10mm devils. What gets proxied for Russian Hussars - Austrians?
Cheers LPWC.

We've got a Russian Hussar conversion that was done for a Naps customer, but never added to the range.  Drop me an email and we can sort some of those out for you.
