French Elite Hussars Near Completon (Before I took the photos, I thought they were finished)

Here is the painted first cavalry squadron of my Hinton Hunt 20mm Army.  They are sporting the uniform of the 7th Hussars (Elites). 

After taking these photos, and looking at them enlarged (so the figures look like the are the size of 120mm display figures) it made me want to go back and clean up around the horse tack and a few other places.

All in all, I am pleased with them.  Now (after the aforesaid cleanup) I will have to convince myself to varnish them (never having varnished wargames figures in the past, and certainly not with gloss varnish).

I painted this unit in, for me, record time.  In the future, things may take a bit longer.  Part of the challenge with these figures (and hussars in general) is the complicated and multicolored uniforms.  I kept going back and forth between colors and cleaning up here and there. 

Can you tell any difference in the white premiered figures from the black?  It was considerably more difficult painting the figures primed in white (in terms of making sure the paint covered the entire figure).   The advantage, though, was that I could see the detail that needed painting.

Your comments are welcome.
