Battle Honors Napoleonic Hungarians in Shako

I'm still working my way through the 1100 Austrian infantry I need for my Wagram army (I've painted nearly 700 so far). This weekend I took a break from Germans in helmet to do some Hungarians in shako.

These Battle Honors figures painted up well. There are only four poses in the pack: officer, standard bearer, drummer, and infantryman. The figures' proportions are outstanding. The only problem I had with these figures was in painting the faces. They just didn't have enough raised detail to pick out.

    They look pretty nice to me! I like your solution for painting white belts and leatherwork on white uniforms. It looks better than the black lining that I use. What colors did you use for base coat.

    I use Delta Ceramcoats for all my painting. My white basecoat is "mudstone," a very handy color.
