A Quick Parade

As promised in my last post here is a parade of my Austrian light brigade consisting of, left to right, the Grenz Sankt-Georger Regiment, the jÀger battalion, the Hessen-Homberg hussars and a horse battery.

    Nice Austrians Mark, the array of colours look good on the table and will compliment the German line regiments all white well.

    A fine parade for sure and well done on getting some decent shots, given it is quite a wide parade you need to capture:).

      Thanks Steve, it was difficult to get the light right in the midst of some stormy weather.

    Great combinations of colors, a teaser for the great white horde to follow.

      Thanks Joe. I like the brown/blue combination of the Grenz every bit as much as the red/green on the hussars.

    Incredibly impressive collection. The Austrians of thus period are very handsome troops.

    Even the dead love a parade. Did you need to use the panoramic lens? 😀
    Great looking force.

      Thanks Stew, no panorama lens, just a standing back with the iPhone then a heavy cropping on the image!

    Splendid looking Austrian lights and yes the most hussary of hussars you have to have Hessen Homberg, the same figures primed are inching they're way to the painting tray so I can have a go at the fetching colour combination!
    Best Iain

      Thanks Iain. It is indeed a fabulous uniform, shared with the Kienmeyer, regiment no 8, but the latter had brass buttons as opposed to pewter.
