HaT 1/32 SYW Austrian Fusiliers Prototypes: Handsome Austrian fellows!

-


Today I was thrilled to find these beautiful prototypes that HAT Industries asked me to paint for them on my doormat. I am truly honored and very excited to paint these excellent looking figures!
These two figures depict Austrian Fusiliers of the Seven Years Wars. This era did not really have my interest until today! I definitely want to buy some when they come out! 




These are the prototypes so minor adjustments can be made. When the prototypes are fully approved they will go into the production stage and then be available for sale! Besides the Fusiliers set of which these men are part, HAT will also produce a set of Grenadiers and a command set! Earlier HAT already made a series of SYW Prussians. 
For more info and pictures check out their website:http://hat.com/Curr9/Bx9400SP/Bx93xx7YWA.html


The figures are measured from the bottom of his shoes to the end of where the head (covered in the hat) will be is exactly 54mm so a very precise 1/32 figure it is! My compliments to HAT! The base of the figure is a bit thicker and I noticed that is more three-dimensional than the Napoleonic figures I own made by HaT. Unfortunately, I have no SYW Prussians in 1/32 made by HAT to compare but I assume that they will be the same in height and dimensionality 









                   I am still overwhelmed by the crispness of these two figures... I am sold!

I started by giving them a gray undercoat, now it is easier to see the amazing amount of detail the figures have! I can only come up with positive things to say about them!



Enjoy the pictures and feel free to ask questions!

Damn...There good! Now, it is time for me to get to work! ;-))

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:
