1/32 HAT SYW Austrian Fusiliers Prototypes
plate created by Franco Saudelli 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. N
