Neapolitan Veliti della Guardia Masters ready
Austrian Hussars Painted test shots
Finally due to the W/E i finished the test shots of the two sets of austrian Hussars.
Here in the uniform of the 2nd Rgt, Joseph Anton.
I must say i had a pleasure in painting all the details, although this is the set which was ruined and repaires so it is 90% of my aimed quality. the next sets will be 100%....
The sets are:
Austrian Hussars Command: 3 mounted figures
Austrian Hussars Team: 4 mounted figures
Will follow Austrian Hussars casualties :5 fallen hussars, 5 fallen horses
First painted test shots Austrian Hussars
Spare Heads
Franznap Miniatures Austrian Hussars test shots in resin
The two first sets of Franznap Miniatures are close to the start line, here the first test shots in resin.
The story of this sets is long, i first did some of them out of conversions, but after, when my skills developed, i re-sculpted them and sent them to production.Unfortunately the molding process damaged the masters and i had to repair them and find solutions of the technical problems which created that damage.
Now finally i could have in my hands the first copies ready for production. I will do it in both resin and metal, the sets in resin will have more pieces, as spare heads, arms, weapons and equipment.
French artillery horse holder masters finished
First team french line horse Artillery almost ready
Here the first set of the French Line horse Artillery 1806, loading team, 7 figures, sabres and sabretaches must be sculpted but i'm thinking to keep them as separate pieces in order to have more details and less undercut points.
One Offs painted
As a start for the new year , I finally finished two "one off "pieces i started las year, two Austrian Hussars of the 3rd Rgt.; a small scene of rest during the campaign. All the pieces are concept and sculpted by me, and the painting too. The Captain has a Lipizzan horse, and the private an Halflinger, two austrian breed; I've added to the scene two magnificent pieces from Andreas Hofmann which I'm finally attending to.
Colonel of the french Carabiniers with cape
