Title: Some Austrian Napoleonics (AB Figures)
Post by: Jemima Fawr on March 04, 2020, 10:51:52 AM: Following harassment, I've started posting my AB Austrians on the blog, starting with the infantry regiments. The usual disclaimers apply: This blog may cause drowsiness. Don't read my blog if taking strong medication, driving or operating heavy machinery. Wash your hands thoroughly after viewing. If symptoms persist, self-isolate for two weeks with a pile of unpainted AB Figures and paint.

Title: Re: Some Austrian Napoleonics (AB Figures)
Post by: jambo1 on March 06, 2020, 05:08:07 AM: Well I really enjoyed the infantry but the cavalry, wow!! Superb work, really love it, the colours really "pop", the hussars and uhlans are quite superb. Great thread! :)
Title: Re: Some Austrian Napoleonics (AB Figures)
Post by: Jemima Fawr on March 06, 2020, 06:04:56 AM: Cheers! I spent yesterday painting Imperial Guard Mamelukes, so I can't see colours any more... :o

Post by: jambo1 on March 09, 2020, 05:57:59 AM: Superb, once again!! The Austrian army of the time had so many different parts to it and so many lovely uniforms, enjoying your progress on them. :)
Title: Re: Some Austrian Napoleonics (AB Figures)
Post by: Jemima Fawr on March 09, 2020, 11:05:21 AM: Cheers Jambo! Yes, the Austrians aren't quite as monochrome as commonly supposed. ;)
Title: Re: Some Austrian Napoleonics (AB Figures)
Post by: Jemima Fawr on March 11, 2020, 03:30:26 PM: More flippin' Austrians... This time it's the Landwehr and Insurrectio:

Post by: archiduque on March 12, 2020, 03:29:54 PM: Very nice stuff!! ;)
Title: Re: Some Austrian Napoleonics (AB Figures)
Post by: DintheDin on March 12, 2020, 03:39:03 PM: Years ago owned a huge 1/72 plastic Austrian army I had painted and converted mainly from Esci figures.
I had made conversions of Hussars, Jagers, Landwehr, Insurrectio... Austrians are really a colorful army!
But my work is pale in front of your enviable paintjobs on these gorgeous AB's! Cheers!
Title: Re: Some Austrian Napoleonics (AB Figures)
Post by: jambo1 on March 12, 2020, 04:04:27 PM: More stunning work on your army, the landwehr are cracking!! :)
Title: Re: Some Austrian Napoleonics (AB Figures)
Post by: Jemima Fawr on March 12, 2020, 04:23:04 PM: Cheers chaps!

I need to be more careful with my basing though... Those guys look like they've been wading through the Danube swamps... :?
Title: Re: Some Austrian Napoleonics (AB Figures)
Post by: Jemima Fawr on March 13, 2020, 11:42:16 AM: More Austrians. Try to contain your excitement...

Post by: DintheDin on March 13, 2020, 12:10:06 PM: The artillery look the part, but the staff uniforms are really splendid!
Title: Re: Some Austrian Napoleonics (AB Figures)
Post by: jambo1 on March 13, 2020, 03:43:05 PM: I have always liked the Austrian artillery, just that bit different from other nations. The staff officers are quite superb once more!! :)

Ta! I did pick that battalion because the combination of pink, parrot green and steel green was particularly revolting... ;)
