My next figure will be Verlinden's 3rd New Jersey Cavalryman. The regiment were nick-named 'The Butterflies' because of their gaudy hussar-style uniforms. I've also made this figure before, and again thought it was time to have another bash. The box-art has caught the figure at it's worst angle, as the pose is much better overall.
It's also clear from other reference and photos that the colouring on the box is slightly wrong, with the cape and breeches being a slightly lighter blue:

It will make for a much more colourful rendering.
Here are the parts:

Quite a complicated figure, with the cape/hood assembly stacking on top of the torso. Lots of belts, buckles and hooks as well.
