IR8 Hildburghhausen is one of my favourite Austrian regiments. They were involved in many major actions during the Seven years war, and saw action at Lobositz in 1756, where they attempted to reoccupy Lobosch hill, and defended the town. They lost 16 officers and 250 men in the action.
Meet Kaspar Reinhard von Trais, Colonel of the regiment. Pleased with the result, a Sash and Sabre 40mm conversion.
He will look splendid leading the full regiment when I have completed it.
Off to Falkirk today, for the show tomorrow. Looking forward to meeting some familiar faces and having a natter. No major purchases planned, but I am on the lookout for some more large trees and landscape features that will work for 40 mm.
Following the show, we are off for a couple of days to Fife, staying at Anstruther and St Andrews.
So probably no more posts until next week. Hope everyone has a great weekend.
