There and back again. 28mm Austrian Hussars 1794.

Well, no hobbits but I have been here before. I have just completed the replacement 28mm Austrian Hussars for the French Revolutionary army, as you guys will know these twenty four Eureka figures will replace the 30mm Elite cavalry that I sold, hence the there and back again crack.
Twenty four 28mm cavalry take a bit of painting and yes I did them in one batch, if I'd split them up to paint I would have given up half way through and made do with twelve of the buggers! I am pleased with them though, very colourful.

7th Regiment 'Liechtenstine':








I know they didn't carry their flag at this point in time but hey I like flags!
Off for a well earned rest.
Dave.

    Lovely looking Hussars! Their uniform colors are among the nicest - which says a lot for Hussars!

    Damn it David, seeing the Eureka figures with your paintwork is rubbishing my efforts to be frugal.
