Slowly but surely...

I love long weekends! Great time to make some painting progress while sitting outside in the gazebo with a cold beer.

Here is a progress photo for my first unit of Austrians for Curt's Napoleonic Challenge.



Each of my infantry battalions will have 38 foot models and one mounted model (which takes of up two slots on the bases) for a total of 40 models per unit. They will be impressive displays of Hapsburg might, and will look great on the table while the Austrian commanders gnaw their fingernails off wondering whether they should actually be committed...

The standard bearers and musician are under the brush right now. After that, another officer and a pioneer are the last models to be finished for this unit. They can be seen above in the very front, with their black primer and basic shadow grey drybrush, waiting for their turn on the assembly line...
