I was looking at my blog this last week and noticed that a couple of topics were left unfinished, one of which was the Austrian Artillery needed for fighting battles 1792 - 1806.
As mentioned in my earlier post there were several different hat options available. Here's an update on two of these:
1790 - 1806 Rundenhat - worn with the rear brim turned up (service dress) (conversion needed). Has a plume.
Here are the two cannon batteries made so far - two artillery crewmen and one "handlager" picked from a nearby infantry unit to do the heavy lifting.
1790 - 1803 Tricorn (later as full dress only) (SYW Austrian artillery). Here are three shots of a cavalry battery and a heavy gun (12 pdr) with the crew in Tricornes. My understanding is that most of the artillery drew rated as NCOs, so there should be plenty of suitable hat trim.
Figures are Baccus (Converted Austrian arty, SYW, Handler from AWI loyalist), guns mounted on 1" 2mm mdd from Warbases.
Enjoy!
