Austrian 28mm Front Rank Napoleonic Chevau Leger Horse.

 Hello There! Here is another completed unit for the Austrians.I always try to have a cavalry unit in progress in the background. This helps me not to get bored with doing cavalry alone while still having other things getting completed on the production line.




I have included the red comb for the trumpeter and his grey horse. The grey dapple is done by smearing a powder from dark grey oil pastel block and is sealed using the gloss and then matt aerosol varnish.


The castings had a some fine lines on the horse blanket so the painter has a slight guide to include the black and red lines on the edges.


These are the 1st Kaiser Regiment intended for the 1809 period. Using the W J Rawkins offering on the Napoleonic Austrian Army the first squadron carried the Liebfahn while the remaining squadrons had the Ordanfahn. There were one of the regiments that retained the Green jacket.
