Last of Plastic Austrians

The plastic Austrians are finally finished. With what was left over I decided to paint up two extra bases for each of my 36 strong helmeted regiments. That means I can use them as two 48's or four 24's. I also added a couple of Sappers, made using the Perry Plastic Sapper plus Victrix Grenadier head. They have a role in the Lasalle rules.




The mountain of stuff in the photo below is now all completely painted, except six casualty figures. Three and a half months from when I started assembling it, which I'm quite pleased about. :)

Of course I've bought more since this time, so more painted Austrians will be showing up on this blog shortly!

    This is simply incredible!
    I've been trying to raise my own game in regards to the amount of figures I paint a month but this just blows me away especially as they look so good.
    I tip my shako to you.

    Well done!!!!!

    They look great! White uniforms never looks so impressive.
