Mounted Hussar of Austro-Hungarian Imperial Army

Creating the Plume. From the images I found I got the idea how the thing looked like … and got some clues about the dimensions of the thing just like in case with the rifle. I figured out the right scale and … I used my own design and modeling technique here… I took a nail and stuck it into the body of the "plume" made of the paste I use for modeling… Carved the surface in a definite way using some mini-tools I have… After the thing set hard I sprayed it some primer first and …

P.S. Plume ?! I 'm not sure if that's the right name of that thing in English…BTW - Don't judge my English seriously for it's just one of three languages I speak ,read and write every day here..

...Here, the rifle complete . Visually absolutely undetectable restoration. Full Match in color and form...In theory can be made undetectable even under UV light … Sings like true porcelain if tapped gently with a fingernail..Will last for many decades to come..

The missing spur needed some attention as well . I made a mini- mold of the second undamaged spur ,about 7 mm long ,seen on the other boot of the horseman. Made a mini -cast using special material suitable for the task and attached it to the place..
