Neapolitan Guard Hussar Bugler 1812



Done from a Knotel plate, the fur, mane, tail and plume were done with tacky oil paint.




While I loved the uniform, it is probably not accurate. The Guard Guide were give orange uniforms according to the Knotel plates back in the 1880s. Of course, Murat was famous for repeatedly changing uniforms for many of the cavalry units and Guard infantry.








It is a Historex figure with some modifications... If the man looks angry, it's probably because he has to wear the lemon-colored uniform.
