Hungarian Honved Infantry Advancing in Kepi (ERH14) from the Steve Barber website.
These were among a few recent releases in the range (and there are more in the works, to include several more of my commissions). I promptly placed an order for the new infantry in kepi, along with the new officer variant. Of course, that wasn't all...
I couldn't resist adding these Hungarians in fur caps to the order, another nice addition to the line (although not commissioned by me). All of these figures should help to kickstart my winter painting campaign, among other hobby activities. With these figures, I'm looking forward to adding a "red cap" and a "white cap" unit to my Honved forces, along with a unit in fur caps.
Another development was the recent release of the Transylvanian infantry...
Hungarian Transylvanian Infantry Advancing (ERH9) from the Steve Barber website: commissioned (and also expertly painted) by the Grey Herron
...interesting to compare the above figures with the conversions (below) that I had done to create the same prior to them becoming available (and prior to me knowing that they would be)...
...for the curious, I documented the production of my Transylvanian conversions in an earlier post.
These figures should round out my Hungarian infantry, which, together with the Rifles and Transylvanians, should present quite a colorful array when complete.
Lovely figures, looks great,especially on the last picture...wonderful painting!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Phil, I hope to produce a consistent set once these new ones arrive.
DeleteHi Ed, thanks for commissioning the figures. Karen, Steve's wife sculpted the fur hat.
ReplyDeleteMy third commission is completed except for the rocket and 6lb foot cannon. Steve has indicated that the rocket should be completed during the Christmas period followed soon after by the cannon. They will then require to be moulded and cast alongside my other 2nd commissioned work.
My third commission is underway. Two head conversions based on the Honved Infantryman advancing (ERH 2) them being a pulled shako an a Porge Kalap. Two national guard and two Polish Legion (both being an officer an a infantryman). General Bem mounted plus the Hungarians (full dress in Austrian service and in march attack stance) alongside three more German legionnaires(total six for the German Legion).
Hussars in 1849 uniform (campaign dress) two more Honved rifles and the Italian Legion plus National Guards with Scythes will complete my fourth commission which is planned for early next year.
Austrians and Russians will follow.
Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year!
Best regards,
GH
Well, GH, I think my contributions help to round out the field that you have promoted. I am really glad to hear of the General Bem figure. I have commissioned a mounted command figure, although not a general, so once those come online, we'll have a nice range of command figures.
DeleteI agree and once again thank you for your commissions.
DeleteSome great looking figures Ed.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ray. Steve does good work!
DeleteGreat looking models, Ed! Your commission work is paying dividends!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jonathan. Given the far ranging commissions, it looks like one of the most colorful armies--that nobody has heard about:) --could have one of the most complete set of figures available this side of a mainstream Napoleonic force!
DeleteLovely looking Hungarians and Transylvanians lots of lovely knotting!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks, Iain, I was just thinking about the Hungarian knots to come that will need to be painted, too!
DeleteThose Hungarians in the fur caps - lovely. You got to get some of those!
ReplyDeleteOne unit primed and ready for paint...
