They really look the business now.

Slowly but surely !

The coats look really good, Castle Grey sounds like a colour I'd find useful, damn just order other paints but not that.

Great idea on weathering the cartridge pouches, I do a similar technique but start with Cidadel Rhinox Hide, BT I think that would be too dark in your scale.

Got to say I love the Grenadier caps with the tail.

Cheers Simon

I've heard that Rhinox Hide paint many times, it seems like it is one of the useful bunch from Citadel.
I have 5 pots different colors of the old foundation paints , they were amazing, I really don't understand why they had to change them.

Hi Daniel

Must agree with the above last 2 illustrious members comments .....
Loving the whites ...ordered the Castle Grey as well

The way for the pouches looks good as does the headwear .....

Have a officer or 2 to add a Standard Bearer ?

Great updates

Looking forward to seeing more

Have fun @ the bench

Hi Kev,
I hope the Castle grey works for you.

As for the scenette, these figures were discontinued fee years ago, not sure if they even had an officer for the Austrians.
I may have to use another figure and research the Austrian Infantry Officer uniform to add in here, as far as i know there is no standard bearer.
It is a shame they discontinued these Figures, they are really nice.

Finished the first 2 chaps,
Working on the next 6...

HI Daniel,
I am reasonably certain that Drabant never did an officer, just the two figures that you have. Years ago I was very interested in doing the two French Mounted Dragoons but they were withdrawn supposedly for upgrading but they never appeared again as far as I know. It's a great shame they were a lovely range of figures.

Hi Daniel

Those 2 chaps look fine , it’s a rather nice but plain uniform with the flash of colour in the facings

Looking forward to seeing more

Happy painting

The rate you're going Daniel you had better start the ground work, or have you already done that, I do get confused sometimes!!

Cheers Simon
