HaT Industries Wurttemberg Jaegers 1/32 ready for battle

-





My latest work is a set of HaT Industries 1/32 Wurttemberg Jaegers. I painted ten soldiers, an officer and a bugler! They will be welcome reinforcement for my French troops! I enjoyed painting green uniforms for the first time. I think their uniforms are very handsome and cool to paint!
I used multiple techniques for creating different shades of green, which I can tell from my Re-enactment experience is the case. I always like the variety of colors created by weathering, sun, dust, rain, black powder and being constantly worn by the soldiers.

However, I hope you like these figures. I will now continue painting the last batch of Italeri Austrians before I can finally return to painting some HaT French! :)

Have a nice day and soldier on!

    Very, very nice work! I love 54mm plastic. HaT makes some of the best. Always thought that for cost and time spent 54s were so much better than smaller scales. Impressive as singles or in mass, bounce off the floor when you drop them and I can paint them without reading glasses. Look forward to your future work.

      Thank you Scott for your kind words!
      I do fully agree with you! I started as a kid with bigger Papo and bluebox knights then came the soldiers of which I later would found out all were copies of WO II Airfix and Matchbox made in Hong Kong or China copies! And some cowboys and soldiers of my dad.
      When I started seriously collecting, I started with 1/72 figures. However, I soon, now already twelve years ago I dropped my 1/72 collection and went all in on 54mm or 1/32 figures! Best choice that I am still happy with! Closest to what I define as toy soldiers, fun to play with, paint look at and easy to hold and indeed easy to paint and not too fragile!
      I fully agree with you, I think the HaT figures are the best out there! They are fun, detailed but not too detailed such as for example 54mm victrix. Also, I like the Italeri figures! I saw pictures of your collection! They look great! Impressive Russian army you have! Can we expect any Napoleonic 1/32 posts from you soon?
      My holiday is over so less time for the figures but I will definitely sit behind the painting desk this week!

      Thanks again for your reply!

      Warm regards,
      Stan

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:
