Austrian Hussars Painted test shots

Finally due to the W/E i finished the test shots of the two sets of austrian Hussars.
Here in the uniform of the 2nd Rgt, Joseph Anton.
I must say i had a pleasure in painting all the details, although this is the set which was ruined and repaires so it is 90% of my aimed quality. the next sets will be 100%....
The sets are:
Austrian Hussars Command: 3 mounted figures
Austrian Hussars Team: 4 mounted figures
Will follow Austrian Hussars casualties :5 fallen hussars, 5 fallen horses

Franznap Miniatures Austrian Hussars test shots in resin

The two first sets of Franznap Miniatures are close to the start line, here the first test shots in resin.
The story of this sets is long, i first did some of them out of conversions, but after, when my skills developed, i re-sculpted them and sent them to production.Unfortunately  the  molding process damaged the masters and i had to repair them and find solutions of the technical problems which created that damage.
Now finally i could have in my hands the first copies ready for production. I will do it in both resin and metal, the sets in resin will have more pieces, as spare heads, arms, weapons and equipment.

One Offs painted

As a start for the new year , I finally finished two "one off "pieces i started las year, two Austrian Hussars of the 3rd Rgt.; a small scene of rest during the campaign. All the pieces are concept and sculpted by me, and the painting too. The Captain has a Lipizzan horse, and the private an Halflinger, two austrian breed; I've  added to the scene two magnificent pieces from Andreas Hofmann which I'm finally attending to.
