Title: Hungarian Up-Rising Update Page 5 Staff Officer
Post by: Helen on May 14, 2020, 08:58:43 PM: Hello folks,

Its been a while having miniatures commission through Steve Barber's commission a miniature service and working on my Zulu War project, but I've finally started painting up some miniatures for my collection. A collaboration from similar folk have contributed to the on going range and my thanks extends to them also.

Some modelling was required for the Honved Grenadiers as they don't have their own command available in the range. Plenty to do on the workbench between Zulu War project and this project.

Thanks.

Post by: DintheDin on May 14, 2020, 09:44:06 PM: Steve Barber's models are full of character and he managed to sculpt the Hungarian knots and lace perfectly!
Your paint job gave them value added! And I like the priest! Cheers!

It would be nice to see some units.

Thank you Emir for your questions. As I'm the only person now commissioning miniatures its basically trying to flesh-out the range to capture the belligerents in the main.

Units can be made up of what is currently available baring some drummers which are just waiting to be sculpted. Drummers for Polish/German Legion, National Guard Pest/Bihar Hapsburg (Hungarian two headdress variants). So that is five drummers all up. There is two more Honved Officers on foot to be sculpted of which one is for the National Guard units. Hussar in Pelisse attacking plus a converted command stand (foot) completes the current offerings. Oh there is a Tyrolean Jager cheering on with a bier stein.

The Austrians are awaiting a Croat to be sculpted.

Steve has not released all of the range, say six-eight miniatures, but I'm sure it will be as soon as the current pandemic subsides.

I'm currently working on a Viennese Legion with some modeling for the officer and other ranks.

I would like to expand the range with additional mounted generals/officers, Honved Hussar (1848/49 uniforms) National Guard Cavalry, artillery crew prolonging 7lb howitzer National Guard scythe-men.

Thanks for expressing an interest.

Post by: Emir of Askaristan on May 17, 2020, 12:11:16 AM: Thank you Helen.

My own interest in this period is the '48-'49 campaigns in Italy, the siege of Rome and pursuit of Garibaldi. So some of the figures in the range, the Austrians in particular, are of interest to me.

Hope all goes well with the remaining figures and please keep posting them up.

Thank you. There will be some additional Austrians, mainly, Jager, Serenzer, artillery crew/rocketeer and mounted ADC. I might look at sabre arms/helmets etc for the Perry Austrian cavalry in plastic being released.

The new Northstar 1866 range of Austrian Command will do for the higher command.

Thanks Lon. I love painting horses. I thought they were a real chore, but lately I find I spend alot more time on them. I love the priest too! Hoping to stick a flag on that pole which will negate most of the painted work on the pole.

Post by: Helen on June 09, 2020, 11:50:23 PM: So... I've completed the Viennese Legion with some modelling on the miniatures from Steve Barber Models. I'm happy with the result. The flag is temporary until I can get proper flags made.

Thanks Ray, that's lovely of you to say. Quite honestly, I'm finding it harder to sit down and paint these days. To many distractions outside on the rural property that has more of a priority.

Post by: Helen on July 19, 2020, 05:34:44 AM: Next up is a Honved 6lb Artillery Piece. Once again commissioned by myself. Geoff Coe commissioned two of the artillery crew. One of which is shown here being the gunner with portfire the other walking open right handed (not shown). My two commission miniatures are an artillery nco (not shown) and gunner with rammer (shown).

Some modelling was done on the brim of the shako to extend it out, some lower face work on the gunner with portfire and finally some touch-up braid work.

I'm currently working on additional Honved infantry.

Thanks for looking.

Title: Re: Hungarian Up-Rising Update Page 5 Vivandiere
Post by: Helen on September 25, 2021, 12:31:51 AM: Well...its been a year or so since I've revisited this project as the Zulu War project took up most of my spare time. I hope to readdress this by adding additional miniatures to the project and also I was thinking that by using Pikemen Lament as a basis for rules I could make this project look more promising. Perhaps someone reading this could provide another suitable set of rules similar to what I'm proposing. Anyhow, here is my Vivandiere that I'd Steve Barber sculpt for the range.

Cheers!
