Hi, In the new HM-1508 set, there are 7 mounted figures for the Hungarian war of independence in 1848-49. Riders are in 4 poses, horses are in 5 poses and resin bases. There are also 3 extra heads, so I could made 7 different mounted figures. Hungarian high officers had very colourfull uniforms with braids. I painted 4 exact charachter and 3 generic officers. Görgei Artúr: Josef Bem: Damjanich János: Vécsey Károly: A staff general: The whole set: You can see more photos here: miniaturesoldiers.blogspot.hu/2015/03/hungarian-honved-general-staff.html#more And you can buy this set here: hagen-miniatures.de/index.php/en/produkte/category/view/210 Bye, TK

Great job!

These look so nice it makes me want to look into the period. I'm not sure if I should thank you for that, though :-)

I recall reading that many Confederate cavalry officers in the American Civil War drew inspiration for their flamboyant uniforms from those worn by Hungarian officers during the Hungarian Uprising in 1848. The connections appears confirmed here. Nice figures and nice presentation!

dBerczerk! Perhaps it is true. Several Honvéd officers migrated to US and they took part in the civil war in the North army. For example Asbóth Sándor: link

Krisztian -- how very interesting! Thank you for the link. My ancestors emigrated to the U.S.A. from Hungary, but after the American Civil War. I shall plan to pay my respects at General Sandor's grave when next I visit Arlington National Cemetery.
