Husares de Junin. Work Progresses.

I've finally got back on the horse as far as South America goes with a few more Peruvian Husares completed.


I've also tried a couple with a darker skin tone:


unfortunately they look like blacked up Europeans rather than Peruvian Indians, a South American "It Ain't Half Hot Mum". So back to the drawing board with that idea.

  1. Great looking uniforms - I think the darker skin toned guy looks fine. Best, Dean

  2. Many thanks Dean, the problem lies with the fact that the faces on the figures are sculpted to represent hirsute British Hussars not native Peruvians. I will learn to live with it though.
