Austrian infantry regiment no 54 Froon Napoleonic 66

 Here's a Perry plastic unit Regiment no 54 Froon primed in black, well some were primed in grey but got a black wash, then the usual rough white wet brush coat, flesh, brown , steel, grey, gold white touch up and black touch up, and the facing colour( light green)  for this unit and a black pen to go over the yellow on the crest, it's easier than trying to paint it I find! 




It's a supper fast white wet brush/semi drybrush then go back over the straps and do a final tweak after everything else is done. Standard Austrian flagpole, I did most of these flagpoles together to save time! 










A quick shot of the temporary acting painting desk.


More Austrians and Hungarians as we head towards Easter

All the best

    Lovely additions Iain, and a good idea to do all the Austrian flagpoles together in one batch.

    Looks great! Yeah, the kinds of techniques you describe/use are good for cranking out large numbers of figures for tabletop battles.

      Thanks Fitz, it's all about army painting, not figure painting for me!

    Another great looking Austrian unit Iain - but can they fight? LOL I have found, in general, mine don't fight very well - but it will depend on the rules used, I guess!

      Thanks Keith, historically quite tenacious especially by 1809, not so much elan, more dogged!

      I shall look forward to seeing them Iain. My work is on hold while I have cataract (eyes not cavalry!) surgery.

    Very effective method to paint them Iain, and must be pretty quick too.

      Yes pretty rapid to get them to a base standard, then I can add the other colours as highlights!

    You are getting through these at a fair old rate…
    This is going to be an impressive army when it is finished…
    But is an army ever finished…😁

    All the best. Aly

    Marvellous again, particularly the helmets and 'barber's pole' flag staff. A lovely shade for the apfelgrün facings too!

      Thanks James, I do like the flagpoles adding a bit of colour to an otherwise understated uniform!

      Yes I mean this was just a permanent marker but I've got some other pens I keep meaning to use, I bet they're useful on your ships!
