"BOKI 1:100 pre-1798 Austrian Cavalry." Topic

yes sword is long enough – as for Austrian cuirassiers – I cannot comment on 7YW there I did not research this topic.

For the heads – difficult to say, one has to see the whole figure. It is realy only the first one – I would still leave it there it is only one figure, the cuirassiers with helmets look very nice

I already fixed this one. Just moved his eyes lower. Now his face looks smaller.

Last Chevaulegger Kaskett must be finished and then moulding.
If all goes well, these will be on sale on next week.

Austrian Infantry Officers are ready too and waited for moulding.

outstanding

Awesome sho!

Good god!! Those are amazing. I'm away on holiday next week so I'll order these when I get home if they are ready.

Those dragoons in helmet are fantastic!!!

the dragoons in helmets are in fact cuirassiers ;-) – for the wars against the Turcs.
I agree amazing.

Yes VW, probably. I was just looking at my Haythornthwaite "Uniforms of the French Revolutionary Wars" and the plate with the helmeted figure was called "Dragoon, campaign dress, 1789".

Hey Sho, I was onyour site and I noticed you're only selling your Russian Generals individually, did I miss something? I thought you had them as a set.

Thanks guys! Evolve, slowly but firmly. I began to understand, why AB don't sculpt some elements, what he definitely are able to sculpt.

Hi Abel. I separated original sets by size and some generals casted badly, so yes, I offered only individual generals meanwhile. But now the ordering option for full set are restored.

Colin, Haythornthwaite shows dragoon indeed. But I sculpted cuirassieurs, the only sculpting difference between these two is collar.

I run out of metal. Ordered new shipment and probably get this and may cast on the end of next week.

Looking at the book, Austrian army, a difficult subject – even for me – reading more than Ottenfeld and Teuber – often puzzles.
Not all details are shown correctly – like the fusiler of 42nd regiment, example – standing up collar, where it should be a turned down collar and the wooden Tschutera instead of white metal water bottle.
What is shown on the plate about the dragoon – I don't know, it is a dragoons uniform but with a cuirass – I did not encounter that dragoons did get in the Turkish campaign a cuirass (so any comments on that are wellcome).
This campaign hat some interesting peculiarities, infantry officers were allowed to wear the Kaskett instead of the hat – Ulanen had to discard the lance and were quipped with fire arms, to increase the fire power etc.
Nit picking aside – great sculpts by Sho and the Austrian officers are simply breath taking

These are available now..

Don't forgot to refresh the page there, if your browser show old content from memory.

Excellent!!

That's great timing. I've just finished my first unit of these and need some more…

More pic of them here on my blog…

One quick question the Von Winterfeld may be able to answer. The units wearing Kasket, what did the officer wear? Bicorne?

I would opt for hats

Another question… Officers coats if the unit wears the green uniform? What colour? Am I correct to assume the officers still wear white?

Officers go along with the coat colour of the men.
You pick a transition period for 1800, as you term the dragoons – light dragoons, but in reality most of them had the still the heavy cavalry outfit.
I would still go and use almost entirely the pre 1798 uniforms for the 1800 campaign – only the regimental names did change.
You could – also paint half a unit green and the other white, in case they did change – or half of them with Kaskett – the other half with hat.

Hi Sho,

How did you get on with casting the new Austrian officers?

Don't worry, I'm not trying to rush you. I've still got a unit of dragoons on the painting table, plus that new order that's on the way.

Colin

Infantry officers? They are available now.

great

I think my order may have arrived, but yet again the postman was too light-handed with his door knocking, so I have had to arrange a re-delivery (Although the delivery may have been the horses).

I've got my figures. Many thanks again. These look great. I just need some horses to arrive so I can get these painted.

today my Austrian officers arrived, along with some other goodies, they are excellent

I got my Austrian officers today. They are excellent…
and undercoated and base-coated two already. Those two will actually be Venetian but they look great already. They are the best that Sho has done so far and look as good as AB.

Thanks guys!

Here are cavalry officers. Standardbearer and trumpeter are on table too.

As soon as you have those available I'll be needing a few.

I finished (almost) my first two of the mounted officers, but not as Austrians. They show their flexability by also being Venetians.

These are a little bit rough, but I'm almost happy with them. The photo's help me see the details that my eyes can't see, so may touch up a few bits.

More pictures on my blog here…

Looks great, I like the combination of blue-black-white. :-)
But you forgot to paint the cuff buttons?

I didn't forget. I made a bad job of it, over-painted them blue to hide the mess, and will repaint now that I have the bigger image to see what's actually going on.

The guy without the sword looks really pleased about something. Was it intentional to give him a smile?

Actually he must shouting, but without deep shading he smile mysteriously indeed.

Hey Sho,
How is the sculpting getting on? You haven't been posting as much.

I finish my commissioned 17th Century Infantry now, but Austrian Officers are ready and headless flagbearer with trumpeter wait for middle moulding. Then they get different heads and collars.

Are the Muscovites on sale?

Will be on next week.

Muscovites available.

Now I turn back to Austrians..

Topic works now or I get error messages again?
------
No, forum still don't work.

How today?
------
Still not working.

Next try.

Oo, after 3 days it's work.

Nice to see you back onto the Austrians. I'm really looking forward to these.

von Winterfeldt beautifully painted these fellows..

Simply stunning!!!

How are the cavalry command figures getting on? Any progress?

Last Towarczys are ready (yesterday finished), Austrian Command figures are next on finish line.

Any progress with the command figures?

Snapshot..

I think that I may sculpt one more active officer pose.

the standart poles are very long must find the info about their length.

Otherwise about the officers, they are a bit a clone of mounted infantry officers, basically not that wrong, especially with the mounted figure with drawn sabre which will look very good along with the cavalry units – but another pose for variation would be highly appreciated

Pole have length more than 3 metres. 9,7 Wiener Schuh.
You send to me materials about this long time ago.

Yes you are right, just the lance pole – without the peak – 9 Wiener Schuh, a Wiener Schuh is 31.6 cm – thanks for paying so much attention to detail – so silly me.

Your picture named "Kavalleriestandarte" and the flag himself on picture is small, cavalry one.

But have you dimensions of Austrian infantry drums?

I will have a look about Austrian drums – as written above, you are right about length of cavalry standarts.
