Special post for Rahway -Closer look at HaT 1/32 Austrian Grenadiers SYW-assembled

Image
Since I saw Rahway's question on the PMCD forum I thought via this way, some quick images I've taken with my I-phone of the Grenadiers assembled, next to Prussian Musketeers and the painted test shots of the Austrian Musketeers. I will fill up some gaps that remain on the figures, and spray paint them and start painting...I have plenty of work to do ;-)) The figures are quite friendly and easy to glue. In some cases, I need to cut down the pin on the body because it was too long. The figure loading his musket is also a bit more of a hassle but still very doable! I think the figures are very clever engineered, the separate parts pay off to the sculpting of the figures, no flash or anything I think these figures are the best I have seen from HaT so far!  I just love this sun-yellow colour!  They are grenadiers so slightly taller :-)

HaT SYW GRENADIERS test sprue arrived! HaT is back in the 1/32 game! What a day what a day

While I finished my Musketeers last night and was photographing them, these came in the mail! Man they look great! HaT really surpassed all my expectations! No remarks or criticism unlike with the musketeers..! These figures are amazing! More great news! ; The Hat French Light infantry sets in 1/32 meaning the 9302 French Voltigeurs - 9304 French Chasseurs - and the 9303 Carabiniers! Also the command set will be re-stocked! Boy oh boy I have send some many e-mails about this and posted it so many times on the HAT-forum and luckily others felt the same! So I hope that it will be in this year they will be available again!

ITALERI 1/32 NAPOLEONIC AUSTRIANS

Image
YES! This week I managed to finish a long-term project. The Italeri Napoleonic Austrians that I had started with early spring this year. Loads of school work and other projects made it take so long...In between I painted the Wurtemberg Jagers, in the summer I got some 2nd hand HaT Chasseurs that I started painting and on some very warm summer days I started converting HaT's avant-garde into Austrian Jagers 1809. I only started painting these Jagers recently so they will follow very soon! However, I am drifting off, here they are...I am happy they are done...I decided at some point when I had painted already most of them to add green stuff moustaches to some figures. It did them well, so I decided to do it with all of them. Also, I started using a different method for painting the faces which I find effective and appealing, the moustaches give the figures more character... Both Grenadiers and Fusiliers with red turnbacks are painted as Infantry of the Emperors First Regiment In...
