2. Bending of legs and arms, some cut off and glued in a different angle
3. Cutting of the sabre from the hand (4x)
4. Creating of a sash with aluminium foil and putty (1x)



5. Creating of animal fur with aluminium foil and putty (6x)
6. Drilling holes in hand for lance (7x)
7. Modification of wings with nails (for model train tracks N-gauge) and a little putty (18x)



8. Making of a sabre hilt (1x)
9. Bringing the lance pennons in shape with water (12x)



10. Lots of putty to make smooth transitions
11. Cutting off a shoulder bag (3x)
12. Cutting off a musket (2x)
13. Cutting off head and glued in a different way (6x)
14. Variations and minor deocrations on helmets with putty (8x)
15. Feather (from the leftover box)) on helmet (1x)

Finally the hussars are now ready for painting
