Austrian hussars No.7 These fine fellows are Liechtensteins Hussars No. 7 forming part of the Austrian advance guard under GM Nordmann. I used Hat Brunswick hussars with Austrian infantry head swaps for the rank and file along with Franznap officers and trumpeter. url=https://postimg.cc/8jKgWyjm]
The sabretaches were constructed by using a print to size picture which was then glued to the blank sabretache. Oberst Franz Von Vlasits proudly leads his men. |

Looks good. It's fun looking at bigger versions of units I painted previously in 15mm. Hope you have better luck with Austrians than I ever did. |

Beautiful looking regiment, they just need a nice shiny gloss coat! |

Nice looking unit – and you never do badly with Austrians, cause no matter how bad a lickin' they keep on tickin' |

Thank you to everyone for their kind comments. Further details of the project to date are in the Aspern thread in the discussions section. No shiny troops for me as I want to try and recreate the event as accurately as possible. However, I do remember hordes of them fifty plus years ago! The Hinton Hunt wargamer posts them regularly and to be fair they do have a retro appeal. Best wishes, Chris |

I agree Chris,
Even though I'm old enough to remember when gloss was de rigeur, I never liked that look so much. Some people really carry it off but it's just not my preference. Cheers,

I have taken a picture showing the glued on sabretaches, an excellent idea using print to size from a German friend, Egbert. My printer is not really sharp enough but I am pleased with the result as my painting skill is not good enough to do them free hand. I tried to do a job lot by copying the copies but this further reduced the print quality so each one was a separate print. url=https://postimg.cc/K426J9Pq]
Lots to do . Chris |
