Hi There! Finally finished these, painted as Grenadiers of the Sachsen Gotha Regiment. Hope you like them! And some more additional images ;-))  the action posses Now I am in a luxurious position...I really feel like picking new sets to paint from my arsenal, but I also don't want to add much more new projects to let others remain unfinished...I am glad I can now return to my beloved Napoleonic era. I have two bigger unfinished projects of which one is a unit of 8 Helmet Soldiers (by Eric Kemp) Horse Grenadiers. I have been working on them for I think about a year now, on and off. They still require some glueing and green stuff-ing haha. Before I can spray paint them. The other is a ''project'' I started in the spring of this year, mainly one of my first Italeri figures I required I think around 2012/2013. It was in my hometown where I bought a small collection of an army veteran who had various A call to Arms and Italeri ...

HAT 1/32 SYW Austrian Musketeers test sprue finished!

I painted the test sprues also as Musketeers of the Sachsen Gotha Regiment (Austrian Netherlands) so they can go with the prototypes I painted about a year ago. I've been closely in touch with HaT and they worked hard to adjust the problems (flaws) that some of these figures have, they are restored and I am confident these figures will be outstanding when they hit the stores! Today I finished these figures and this same day I received the Grenadier test sprues that do not have any problems and looks better than most 1/32 sets I have seen! Now I cannot wait for the 1/32 NAPOLEONICS to hopefully soon be made again!  Angriff! Both test sprues and prototypes! (Scenery are some fun dye projects by me, I am still learning ;-) )  Complete test sprue painted!  Complete test sprue painted, rearview.      The figure in the middle is my all-time favourite! It is well sculpted, neat and a nice pose! My  compliments to HaT! ...

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: ...
