Very nice! I'm about halfway through my Austrian Army. It is mostly Sash & Saber but with a lot of other makers thrown in since S&S will never complete its line (sigh). |

Very nice! Much nicer painting than mine (although to fair mine are 6mm) |

Very pleasing to see these. They look really good. I'm finishing one of my Hungarian battalions today – Elite figures – and I decided to go for a basic paint job for this 48 figure unit. Having seen yours I may have to do a little bit more dry-brushing and shading! Cheers, Paul |

Those are great! And so numerous. The chap in the greatcoat; is he converted from a Frenchie? |

That ain't no overcoat…look at his white sleeves. I would not know an Austrian from a Hungarian, to be honest, but he is a pioneer, I would suspect. The tan is an apron. In the armies that I am familiar with, he would have had an axe and a beard, maybe even a bearskin hat. I'll leave that to the experts! But I do know that painting white uniforms…that is not easy. Well done. |

Cheers all! And yes BigRedBat, deadhead is right as usual, chap with apron is an Austrian pioneer, he's one of the figures on the Perry Austrian command sprue. |

Vey nice mate and a credit to you . Looks like you have picked the same unit as me for your first infantry unit, looking at the purple facings. Just finished my first unit as well . Started a Volunteer/landwehr unit for something a bit different before going back to do a second battalion. Despite some negative comments about painting white in general , I have found them easy to do . |

Just to add As regards flags , I recommend the GMB type as he can offer some specific units like mine which is no 50. Just take care when ordering as the flags come in packs of 2 . I ended up ordering too many of the yellow type! :) |
