Here they are at last finished, based and battle-ready - the Hungarian Grenadiers. I'm very pleased with the way these have turned out.
The figures used are:
20 x AN.33 Grenadier, firing
3 x AN.30 Officer, charging (one converted to standard bearer)
1 x FN/6 (French) Drummer, charging (with head swop conversion)
And a short ECW update - below is the S-range ECW General (ECWC1) mounted on horse HCH5. The dog, gifted by Tony, is from Irregular Miniatures.

| This could be Prince Rupert and his dog Boye although if it is I think he has been sold a pup as Boye was a poodle and this looks very much like a mutt. |
I am now working to make up the numbers for the 51st Gabriel Spleny regiment after their grenadiers were transferred to the combined grenadiers.

You should be very pleased they look superb, very nice looking regiment, Prince Rupert and Boye are pretty decent too!
Lovely grenadiers, Ian - very pleasing. The general's dog - I am not an expert, but I think poodles look like that if you don't give them the poncey haircut. Nice, vigorous pairing!
Thanks Donnie.
You’re probably right Tony although the pictures of Boye I have found do make him look like a ‘proper’ poodle - he was apparently the original celebrity dog!
Very nice. I like the facing colours on the back of the fur hat.
Superb looking unit !, nice and shiny
These are very smart indeed. The lovely blue of the trousers [suitably embellished] make the unit for me.
I have the same horse and dog but not the general who looks so fine.
Congratulations on the grenadiers.

Thanks Anon, there is some debate over whether the patches were in the facing colour or not but they make for a smart looking unit I think.
Thanks GSS!
Thanks Stephen. I was really please to get the S-range general as I never had one back in the day.
