SYW bits and bobs

Filling in gaps in my 1/72 SYW armies where there are no suitable figures.
Both the Hungarian infantry & the Prussian Garde du Corps needed a lot of modifying: cutting detail (eg cuffs) off, some green stuff detail, decapitating and replacing heads, changing limbs' positions etc.
Still about 10 Hungarian line infantry to do.

Thank you.
I would rather have liked to have Hungarians in the 1761 more ornate uniform but my modelling skills meant sticking to the earlier, less finicky uniform.
When I finish the final 10 or so Hungarian line infantrymen, I'm also looking at the 100 or so unpainted HaT & Revell Austrian infantry I have, lying around.
So; next project could be a couple of Bavarian regiments and a Bavarian battery (one gun model, if I can find one, & I have the requisite 3 crew figures).

I know the Bavarians weren't a major player in the wars but they might add a splash of colour to my Austrian army.

I did the Bavarians at the start of last year. Note however, that I got the gun-carriages wrong - they were red until 1762, when they changed to light blue. I mistakenly did them light blue.
