Hi Paddy, thanks for your comment. More done on this figure.

Hello Nassim, Nice to have you on this platform. Thanks for the link to old toy soldier newsletter. I note that a Luigi Toiati is on their editorial staff. I’ve just read a book by him on toysoldiers where he focuses on the European types of toy soldiers, esp focusing on Italian toy soldiers...

I glued the figure onto its base which is being restained, awaiting final painting.

Almost done with Diego. I placed the couple together for finalisation.

Painted and matted the figures.

I repaired the cape and started to sculpt in the folds.

Started to paint this.

Hi Thanasis, thanks for yr inputs. You reminded me of the uniformology site. Very useful info. Hopefully this figure will be the nucleus of an Austro-Hungarian collection for me.

I’ve just seen this Hungarian movie about a minor incident in the seven years war. Not a great movie but the costumes especially the hussars, are pretty good. Rgds Victor
