Hello All,
After the biger version I also painted the Scale 1/15 version of this Polish Uhlan bust.
Also sculpted by Darko Prenosil (Pokrad) in 3D.
You can find more infos about his story HERE
Thanks for looking!
Cheers,
Balázs
Hello All,
After a long process we can release this unique bust, an uhlan from the 1st Uhlan Regiment of Polish Legions in the Austro-Hungarian Army 1914-18. About historical background we recommend two lexicon links:
https://encyclopedia.1914-1918-online.net/article/polish_legions
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_Legions_in_World_War_I
In spite of we can find several pictures about the first brigade, did not remain enough original uniform items to know the exact colours. In Vienna (HGM – Austrian Military Museum) we can find an original Chapka (the headgear) and next to this we can find a totally different uniform of the 2nd brigade. So, only the Czapka helps by the colours. We know many colorized photos, but these are not originals.
By the greys I used a mix of Luwtwaffe uniform, Russian Tank crew (from Panzer Aces), some blue, white and black. By reds I used Carmine and Rosa, all from Vallejo. I will share more info’s about details here on the block soon.
If you have question, you can write me PM on Facebook.
