"Hungarian Soldiers Played A Significant Role In The Austrian Army..."

"...During the Napoleonic Wars, forming a substantial part of their forces."

This 28mm scale metal model is produced by “Wargames Foundry", and can be purchased as part of their AN007 Hungarian Infantry Command set. The figure is one of eight Napoleonic Austrian soldiers sculpted by Michael and Alan Perry found in the blister, and actually proved a bit of a challenge to get finished due to some poor casting flaws on it.

Furthermore, I really struggled to find much in the way of help when it came to reference material regarding the back of the officer's uniform - so the miniature was predominantly pigmented using just the the Newark-based company's website as my palette guide. And as a result I'm not sure how entirely accurate the chap's colour scheme is - albeit I did temporarily forget my promise to myself not to get bogged down in buttons, collars and cuffs too much, and ended up 'picking out' a fair amount of the man's gold braid.

The model was undercoated using a couple of licks of "Two Thin Coats" White Star, and subsequently had his boots (and other areas which needed to remain dark) layered with some "Citadel" Abaddon Black. I then applied a combination of "Vallejo" Heavy Blue and "Citadel" Drakenhof Nightshade to his trousers - presumably marking the soldier out as being Hungarian, and his tassels, flamboyant waist sash, helmet and sword hilt with a smidgeon of "Vallejo" Gold. These metallic areas were later hit with a wee bit of "Citadel" Agrax Earthshade.

Having scoured around for a suitable-looking light blue I gave the Officer's collar and cuffs a line or two of "Vallejo" Verdigris, and darkened it down with (more) "Citadel" Drakenhof Nightshade. This made parts of the clothing a bit too 'black' for my liking, so I soon went back with a smidgeon more "Vallejo" Verdigris to catch some of the raised details. I also took this opportunity to use some "Vallejo" Gunmetal and "Citadel" Nuln Oil on the fellow's blade, as well as a bit of "Vallejo" Heavy Sienna and "Citadel" Agrax Earthshade on his pistol holster.

Alongside the latest addition to my meagre Napoleonic Austrian warband for "The Silver Bayonet", I have also managed to rattle off two more Kurgun S-3 Scout spacecraft by "Fat Dragon Games". These vessels were created using some "Bambu Lab" Matt White PLA (Polylactic Acid) on an A1 Mini 3D Printer, and can be purchased as an STL (Standard Triangle Language) file as part of the "Battlefront Valkyrie" Starter Set.

The single-piece spacecraft were printed using a 0.2mm nozzle, with a 0.1mm layer height in order to minimise any striation lines on the finished miniatures, and were predominantly painted in "Vallejo" Heavy Green and "Citadel" Biel-Tan Green. However, the (not) Klingon ships were then carefully dry-brushed it with (more) "Vallejo" Heavy Green, and had their warp nacelles pigmented using a combination of "Scale 75" White Alchemy and "Citadel" Flesh Tearers Red.
