Pink Hussar Duel

[Dad's Army]

This is duel nr.78 folks!

The rules this time were:

Paint a pink hussar like in this picure: link.

You have a week to choose your winner. Once again gentlemen take your places and may the best painter win.
Please leave comments after the duel has finished


“Yes, he’s pink!”







vs

"And I paint it pink if I want to!"

[Dad's Army]

A close finish this is, but not enough votes for Peter his entry to win.
He was up against Sasha (zed1) who got the most votes!
Congratulations Sasha, I think now more duels will follow
But also congrats to Peter, both of you did a good duel!
Exitement until the end, perfect.
And the choice of a pink hussar.. Hilarious!

Thanks for dueling, who is next....

[musketier]

Well Done to you both on some fine figures

[Zed1]

Muahahahahaaa....

Just can't stop laughing, it's maximum fun! Thank you Peter for joining this incredible idea, even if the figures are not a real fun for painting.

Judgefredd, VictoriousSecrets, steve_pickstock - this was mostly for you to laugh at. I had the idea for painting a pink hussar in a historically correct uniform after our debate in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=7792&hilit=pink&start=15

There the pink hussar was just an allegory, but I really found one. So in future, you will have to find a better allegory for "I paint it this or that way if I like to"!

Well - after publicly searching for a figure from HaTs' set of 1806 Prussian hussars which fit the best for the needed uniform pattern, Peter joined in and we agreed to make a duel with this theme.
So again thanks a lot to you, Peter, for making this amusement possible!

[Big Texan]

Wow! Both are very good! Great going guys1

[Peter]

Congrats Sascha

As you said it was not really fun to paint this figure, but after all he doesn't look that bad

And you were right about the close finish, I never thought I would get that many votes Thanks to all who did vote for me

And you don't have to thank me. I allways like a fun duel like this one

Now see what our friends have to say about this "Pink Hussar". Frederic, Ben and Steve, helloooooo?????

PS: who's next? Just send me a PM

[SamSagace]

It was very difficult to choice!
Congrats Sascha ! you won a duel !! (the first one, no?)

Thanks a lot. At my personal point of view, I now have one victory, one draw and two losses. Three times, it was a really close decision. So in general, I'm pretty happy with my statistics - but I'm much more happy with the beautiful tournament figures that I'm owning now.

You mean something like this? http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h361/Zedalist/husar2.jpg Bad photo, I know. But it looks black enough, no? Nevertheless, you will soon get to see some veeery black guys from me, so I don't think that another black hussar would be a good theme.

[Paul]

Pink French Imperial Guard, Pink Hussars and next (?) Purple highlanders...great fun
Nice little duel...and a close one, which is always a good result no matter who wins

Very nice little duel. Shame that again only a few members gave their votes. I was very often in Denmark for vacation. So I like this one on the linked picture. Btw. in Denmark there is also a pink salami

I hope it wasn't in scale 1/72

Well - I already wondered about that part as well. There are usually hundreds of views on a duel topic, but only 20-30 people who really make a vote.

It was, I need hundreds for a peace of bread....

And come on peoples - Vote in the duels
