Very nicely done Mark....I do like an Austrian combined grenadier battalion....and of course the flags are lovely! I remember the joy of painting Austrian flagpoles, too!
Yes I figured I needed to do some grenadiers just to complete the Austrians. The flagpoles aren't so bad if they can be painted separately and then fitted after the figure is painted, but in this case when they are fixed to the figure, yes they are a pain.
Great to see more Grenadiers
ReplyDeleteThanks Neil
DeleteGreat looking figures Mark.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ray...pleased to read you are back to good health again.

DeleteGreat work Mark. There certainly are a lot of figures in this battalion. Nicely done with the flagpole as well. That looked like it was painful work.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lawrence. The extra work required to take the 24 figure count to 36 is certainly noticeable.
DeleteLovely work yet again, with the striped flag pole beyond my abilities these days!
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve, but don't look too closely at the flag pole...
Deletemore excellent figures Mark, the 36 figures reflect nicely the larger number of men in Austrian regiments than most other nations.
ReplyDeleteThanks Chris. Those 36 figure units are quite an effort though.
