My old summer love back on the workbench!

Last summer (2018) by the end of August I started these figures! Now I can finally pick up the work to continue and finish these beautiful and fun sculpted HaT figures :-) there are some more firing and loading poses to follow..After that I wan't to start working on my Italeri French and Austrian 1/32 figures! :-) Enjoy!
 These pride Chasseurs are ready to be based! 
Vive l'Empereur! 


Meet Francois du Pierre, the fierce and young sergeant of the pelaton! ;-))




Erwin und Friedrich quietly sneak away in the back, realising they don't stand a chance against this battle-hardened Frenchmen ;-)
To be continued!

    Beautifully done Stan. Really like the different shades of blue for each figure, true to the dyes of the time!

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:
