This site was created late in 2008, just a few years after first becoming involved in wargaming. As you can tell by the name, WAB was my introduction to this community. I appreciate the following and comments this blog receives, and give all thanks and credit to my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. It may seem odd that this blog appears to focus on the folly of mankind's continuous warfare, but I believe I can still enjoy this hobby so long as I put Him first in all I do. Maranatha!

Foundry Austrian Cav - WIP
More Foundry Napoleonics from a recent TMP trade - just four Hungarian Hussars - painted as the 4th Hessen-Homburg Regiment. Too bad they didn't come in full-dress as the red breeches would've really made these guys colorful. Hopefully, the red horse blankets should add a lot more color once they're mounted. The actual braiding is yellow and black, but I'll just let the Minwax stain give it that appearance over the yellow. Note the four Austrian Cuirassiers in the background next in the queue. I plan to combine both of these small units into one group for Sharp Practice.

Beautiful painting Dean, they look pretty colorful even without the full dress red breeches.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cyrus. It has to be the pale-blue shako and "parrot" green jacket combo. Best, Dean
ReplyDeleteActually why not go ahead and paint them red anyway. Look forward to the finished product anyway.
ReplyDeleteHeheheh; I considered that ;) I'll give it some more thought. Thanks! Dean
