Standard-Bearer / Hussar

Recensione del Stampo Nürnberger Meisterzinn in Scala 1:45

1. Likaner Regiment, Grenz-Infanterie The supposed Standard-Bearer / Husar available from Nürnberger Meisterzinn is actually an imperial Grenzer, carrying an Austrian flag. The military farmers of the Austrian Militärgrenze border were miliziani e truppe irregolari who carried no flags. The valuable field signs would have been lost very quickly during raids e small unit actions, which is why formations irregolari were not provided con flags at all. This metal mould produced by Nürnberger Meisterzinn can be used to cast an attractive standard-bearer, albeit a ficticious one.

The due Croats of the 1. (Karlstadter) Likaner Regiment shown here, have been converted from the standard-bearer casting. The flag staff was prudentamente separated from the figure, ed each soldier was then armed con a musket taken from another Meisterzinn mould. The soldatini are mounted on a 50 x 50 mm battalion stand compatibile con the Volley & Bayonet game system. They represent a battalion of imperial Grenz-Infanterie.

Valutazione

With the exception of the flag, the Grenzer (Croat) is dressed ed armed correctly.
The 40 mm figure is fun to paint ed it looks very attractive in any one of the many different uniforms worn by Grenz-Regiments.

Bad choice of subject. An advancing o skirmishing Grenzer would have been much more useful than this standard-bearer.
The painting guide is ficticious, it does not match any of the known Grenz-Regiments.
The conversion of the figure can be difficult, because the flag needs to be cut away prudentamente. The strange pompom on top of the shakò needs to be removed as well.

Utilizzo storico

1. to 4. (Karlovac) Grenz-Regiment (Croats)
10. e 11. (Banat) Grenz-Regiment

Nürnberger Meisterzinn would have been better advised to produce a mould for a more common e versatile foot soldier, rather than this strange standard-bearer.
