Slow but steady.

I don't usually post pictures of half completed stuff on here but getting twenty four Austrian Hussar horses completed is a bit of an achievement just by itself. Not the best quality photographs as I did them with my ipad.

 Only twenty four riders to do now!

Eureka French Chasseurs cir 1796

It still never ceases to amaze me why you good folks continue to show an interest in the inane ramblings of this doddery old fart by looking in at this blog but some of you will recall that I recently sold two of my French Rev units, the Austrian Hussars and the French Chasseurs. At 30mm from Elite the were great but size wise just didn't fit in with the other 28mm stuff I had.
They needed replacing so I bit the financial bullet and bought Eureka, expensive but their range is full to the brim and lovely figures to boot. So the easy bit, twelve French Chasseurs:

A question for you guys out there, why don't Eureka include a standard bearer for these figures, did the tend not to have one at this time or have Eureka just not done one? I'll have to pop them an Email.
Next, the big one, twenty four Austrian Hussars. Once I get them started I'll be ok, but at the minute they are just looking at me on the bench top!

P.S. The pictures are a bit crap, I didn't have the exposure quite right.
