My Austrian army is very nearly finished now. Here are the four units I painted in the two weeks leading up to Christmas.

I've just got forty more Austrian Infantry to paint - making 592 in total.

I LOVE these figures . When I think of 7 Years War , I think of these " type " of figures. Are they a mixture of Front Rank / Foundry ? Looking forward to seeing more , please keep posting.

This lot are Front Rank only. I'm a particular fan of the marching with musket over the shoulder pose as the figure's arms and musket almost completely cover the figures front, making them very quick to paint.
