This is the third regiment (of 4) for these wonderful Piano Wargames figures! This unit uses two more poses from the "Firing Line" set.
The regiment's Inhaber was FZN Baron Ludwig Vogelsang.
It was recruited from Bohemia, specifically the Beraun Kreis.
In 1809, the regiment formed part of Bellegarde's 1st Corps, and fought at Aspern, Wagram, and Znaim.
Facings were Steel Green (Stahlgrun), with white metal buttons.
Excellent work, Peter!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jon!
DeleteLovely work once more, they are really nice. Piano figures really look as good as I have seen.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Donnie. They really are exceptionally nice figures. I don't do 3-D printing, but Lucas sells the files for doing that as well, and I have seen them printed from 10 mm to 70 mm, and they look great regardless!
DeleteYet another lovely regiment of Austrians with the excellent Piano figures, Peter - great job once again!
ReplyDeleteOne more to go; then I have some Landwehr, Cavalry, and artillery to add!
DeleteThey look great Peter. These will be an impressive site when amassed for battle. Do you have a particular game or event in mind?
ReplyDeleteI will be using these figures at the HAVOC convention and at Historicon. I really don't NEED more Austrians, but these were just so great I could not resist them. I do have in mind to do Wagram again...
DeleteLooks wonderful, these Piano Wargames figures are excellent, must get some of their Hesse! Somewhat surprised you are still buying more Austrians, any big battle plans? ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mark! Like Joe says, Austrians are addictive! :-)
DeleteSee above regarding Battle plans - perhaps 2026 or later (post retirement).
Ah I see, brilliant :)
DeleteThese are very nice and the green you have chosen really sets them off!
ReplyDeleteThanks; the green is deliberately a very greyish hue, to match our best approximation of what "stahlgrun" looked like.
DeleteAnother fine unit. 'Stahlgrun' looks good; can I pick your brain on how to mix for 'Sulphur Yellow'?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joe. Most depictions of Sulfur Yellow are a very bright yellow, without appreciable orange or green tint. Kaisergelb has a sight orange/goldish tint.
Delete"Lemon yellow" in modern terms would be the same idea
DeleteSuperb paintwork on impeccable figures.
ReplyDeleteThanks again for the kind words, Richard!
DeleteGreat stuff again and the sapper (?) in butchers apron is bound to instill fear in enemy
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gary. Yes, that is der Zimmermann (Sapper/carpenter).
