I represent the hussars-volunteers (conversion) Mecklenburg-Strelitz, hussars volunteers 1813-1815. Another division of the Prussian corps.

They look very good! Some more close-ups would be nice to have. :yeah:

Yes, excellent work... horses are even better than riders.

Those look very fine, Andrey! I agree it would be nice to see them closer so we could admire your brush work as the photos are a bit dark.

Thank you all colleagues for your kind feedback! I add another photo of the valiant hussars-volunteers of the city of Neustrelitz, Mecklenburg.

These look splendid! Super paint job. I can't believe these are Strelets - their sculpting has come light years.

Very dynamic models and great focus on the details, very well painted!

Thank You Kekso! As Vladimir Dushkin said, the most remarkable artist of the Nuremberg miniature: "A well-painted horse will always "take out" the rider, but even a well-painted rider will never "take out" the horse" ;-)

Thank You "Bessiere"! Only these are thumbnails from the "Zvezda" with conversion. ;-)

Very nice indeed.

Super painting and great horses.

Best wishes,

Chris

Excellent work to my eye. I am not an expert regarding these specific units, but your conversions are seemless and I really like the horse furniture especially. Thank for sharing.

So are these Zvezda Russian Hussars? The ones you can't find anywhere? I was confused since Strelets is releasing new sets of Prussians. Outstanding work all around and lots of it. There's no shortcuts to your work and your attention to detail really shows.

Thank You "Bessiere"! ;-)
