Husaria - Building a Polish army for the 1620s
More Husaria!
With the transfer, from the last project entry, done then it was then time to glue riders on to the horses and get on with the basing. Once again, I used 50mm wide by 60mm deep and 2mm thick MDF bases from Warbases. (Each base takes two horses.) The basing technique was the same as on the previous unit; filler/spackle to hide the figures’ bases, brown paint and pva over that, with sharp sand sprinkled on to the wet pva. Once the pva was dry, a dry-brush of beige on the sand, and static grass / tufts to taste.
So, here is the second unit finished. (The eagle eyed will have spotted that there is a base of two figures missing due to a miscalculation in figure purchases. This has been rectified!)
With two units done I have had to restock my lead mountain with more hussars. Next on the painting bench will be some command bases (and the missing base of two for this unit).
