I've mentioned before that I have struggled to find decent Austrian infantry castings for this project so for the next unit I'm resorting to something a bit different. The unit will be made up primarily of Der Kreigspieler figures with a smattering of Hinton Hunts by David Clayton.
Clayton on the left, DK on the right. |
The DK's are 88/1 Austrian Fusilier Charging and were a kind donation made by Aly. The pose is identical to the Hinton Hunt version (AN/4) and they are decent castings. The Clayton figures are rather weedy in comparison and I have had to carry out some remedial work to get rid of their waspish waists and pitted bases.
You can clearly see here that the Clayton figure has been on half-rations. |
The unit will represent the 26th Schroeder Regiment because who can't resist parrot green facings?
