Hi, all, here's another pair that I've gotten off my bench ;D  Trying to clean up projects in progress, like my Pennsy and my MaK Raptor.

Anyway, a pair of hussars, more castings from the Rylit catalog, which I've painted as hussars from Natzmer's regiment.  They were also known as the White Hussars, from the color of their Pelze (outer jackets).  First, a trumpeter:

There was little uniformity, surprisingly, in the musicians' uniforms.  The regiment's commander or even the squadron commanders exercised wide latitude in the details.  In this case, our trumpeter has the regimental colors of blue and white repeated in the plume on his cap.  The one detail that was common across all units was the swallow's nests of lace on the shoulders.

The other figure is a Wachtmeister or sergeant, of the White Hussars:

His rank is indicated by the rosette on the front of his cap, and he has extra silver lace on his collar and cuffs.

The figure is intended to be assembled with both hands on the bundle of straw or hay; the same figure was sold by Germany's Archive Publishing, and it was assembled that way.  But this was an eBay find, already assembled, so I left him as he is.

As always, thanks for looking!
