Russian hussar officer

I am slightly unsure about the uniform on this figure, please let me know if you notice any inaccuracies. This certainly is a lovely figure by Perry, although some details are very small so that it was a bit tricky to paint. This will work both as a leader for my Mariupol hussars and as a general (rather a colonel perhaps) of a Russian cavalry brigade, when playing Black Powder or something similar. Whenever I finish one or two more cavalry units, that is (some cuirassiers are on their way).

Paint scheme

The paint scheme was as described below. It is very similar to that used on the troopers, with a few additional highlights here and there:

Collar, cuffs, lace and shabraque ornaments: Vallejo Gold Brown, successive highlights with white

Collar and cuff edges, braided belt, shako lace: Coat d’arms Gun Metal highlighted with Coat d’arms Enchanted Silver (some orange was added to the belt, but this is hardly visible)

Sabre hilt, chin straps, sash ornaments, etc: Vallejo Glorious Gold, highlight with Coat d’arms Enchanted Silver mixed in

Sabre: black base, mix of Coat d’arms Gun Metal and black, highlighted with Gun Metal and successively added Enchanted Silver
