1/32 HAT SYW Austrian Fusiliers Prototypes

I am excited to present to you the 1/32 SYW Austrian Fusiliers Prototypes that I received from HAT earlier with the request to paint them. For me, this conflict was quite new when it comes to uniforms and units so I had to do my research and dive into the Seven Years Wars. Since I am Dutch my choice was obvious when I came across this regiment from Sachsen Gotha:  ''After the signature of the Treaty of Rastatt, on March 6 1714 and of the Treaty of Baden on September 7 1714, the former Spanish Netherlands became the property of the Habsburg monarchy and were then known as the Austrian Netherlands. Units raised in this province were thus incorporated into the Austrian army''. (Source:http://www.kronoskaf.com/syw/index.php?title=Sachsen-Gotha_Infantry).



The prototypes were a joy to paint and I felt honoured to paint these Hat 1/32 Prototypes! They are 3-D printed which became more visible after dry brushing or using washes. Nevertheless, this will not be a problem with the final products to which I now look forward to add to my collection!

*Note: The sac and bayonet on the firing figure are missing but will be there with the final product.

I hope you like them! Enjoy!

    Thank you for showing these. The Belgium/Luxembourg branch of the army does not seem to get as much attention as the eastern regiments.

    Hi Rahway! Thanks for your message. You are most welcome! Yes they don't seem to get that much of attention while they have an interesting history and also very beautiful yet simple uniforms! So therefor I thought I would be nice to paint them up as the Sachsen-Gotha Regiment! :) Maybe others are inspired now to do the same when they become available!

Hi there!    Last week I received the HaT Napoleonic 1/32 Austrian Command set 9328 TEST SPRUE! I am thrilled to share this with you! Disclaimer this is not the actual set, it is not released yet. This is a sprue produced to test the mould. After ten years of waiting, I cannot express how I felt to actually see and physically hold these Napoleonic Austrians by HAT that are so desired by many of us including me.  The scale of the figures is great, the detail is great, the headgear options are great and so easy to put on and off! I will be buying loads of these as I am focusing on the 1809 campaign, this command set will also function well for my hordes of Italeri and replicants Austrians!  A Marching and Action set will if all goes well also be released!   Enjoy these pictures and let me know what you think!  -Stan  NCO without headgear to show the pin system, the headgear pieces fit really well on the heads and require very little work.  I look forward to all the possibilities HAT offe

HAT 9329 SYW Austrian Musketeers 1/32 / 54mm TEST SPRUE Yes...Yes! Got these in the mail last week! Really excited about the fact that HAT is reviving their 1/32 or 54mm line! I have been in touch with them of the last couple of years trying to feed them with motivation to keep producing in the for me one true scale! Well enough of that!... Let's get to the figures! I have some pictures of the test sprue for you and some moving images! Last summer in '18 I painted the prototypes for this set, now I received the message if I was interested in painting a test sprue of the Austrians, of course, I was very keen on doing so! So these are the SYW (Seven Years War) Austrian Musketeers, the box will be numbered 9329. The box will include 6 poses and 3 sprues will make 18 figures in total. I also made a way too extended ''unboxing video''; if you don't like to read you can listen to my murmuring and have some visuals here:
