Did I do this right? I've never really painted Napoleonics before, but based on my research the 38th Austrian Regiment would have rose facings and yellow buttons. With the Shako I assumed this was the 1806 uniform some time before the regiment was disbanded in 1809 (so I've read). Front Rank Miniatures [URL=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/198/y83d.JPG/]

I think they look pretty damn good. I love the facing colour. |

Look fantastic to me. Mark |

Great looking paint job. :) The 1806 Shako was issued to "Hungarian" units first. By the time of the 1809 campaign many "German" units were still wearing helmets. Those lovely figure could easily represent a lot of other post 1809 units. :) I'm sure somebody will come by and correct me though. |

Aw shuck's fellas. I was just following the advice that the TMP boards gave for Austrian infantry. Base: Vallejo Neutral Grey 70992
Mid: Vallejo Deck Tan 70986
Top: Vallejo Pale Sand 70.837 Hopefully I'll be able to keep it up for the rest of the regiment. These were just the test pieces. |

very nice brush work – I like the difference in the whites of the cloth and the equipment belts |

I'll second that! A very nice contrast between the white belts and the sandy, off white of the uniform jacket and pants. Well done. |
| ehetheri | 01 Jan 2014 7:32 a.m. PST |
Thank you. The equipment belts are: Foundry Arctic Grey 33A
Foundry Arctic Grey 33B
Foundry White 33C Foundry sometimes gets a bad rap around here, but their pants are wonderful and the color progression for the 3 coat system are beautiful. Would one of you be able to tell me what color the officer's sash should be? I can't seem to find any information on it. |

Very nice work!
These figures are wearing the 1809 issue Shako.
Officers sash is silver with black threads through it, pretty difficult to paint. I just dry brushed silver on the sash. |

I found this print in the net which should give the anwere gold with thin black stripes

Thank you wrgmr1 and excellent find, von Winterfeldt! Would that sash have been the same for a Grenz officer as well? (I have some Grenz up next on the block) |

Nice plated from Mollo – bear in mind that the helmet for artillery was never realized and was a porject only. Sash :yellow and black – for staff officers made of silk ( so I was wrong with gold and black)
gold and black only for generals as bluewillow pointe out above |
takes the plunge.
