Now for something completely different...

...er, not really it's actually more Austrians! This is another unit expertly restored for me by Goya from the collection of Don W. They are painted to represent Hungarian IR 32 Esterhazy although the charging figures are AN/4 Austrian Musketeer rather than Hungarian ones.

The original brushwork on these figures (including the nifty lace work) is all Don's to which Goya has added the black lining to the straps and the yellow stripes to the trousers together with a bit of general tarting up. Zoom in and take time to admire that amazing flag painted by Don some 40+ years ago, I am in awe.

You're a lucky boy - how many battalions in your Austrian army now? If it gets much bigger Napoleon won't dare to come back to Vienna again.

I am lucky Rob! 10 units now and you’re right about Vienna…

Another super looking regiment, the Hungarians look quite superb.
