Tradition number Forty Four

Many years ago, 31 to be precise..I attended a Wargames Convention in  Adelaide..put on by Mal Wright and his chums..and there, for something of a song I bought a stack of second hand Tradition magazines..being young and silly I pulled out many of the colour centre pages, thus ruining the magazine's  intrinsic value..however they are fascinating and as they are slowly reappearing I am enjoying the experience. Here are some scans form one that I found today .
firstly A nice look at Prussian hussars of the WAS.

And a fine colour print of the Madras Horse Artillery  1845





And finally some details of Austro-Hungarian Infantry 1809

French 3rd Hussars 1798 Perry 28mm

Having finally finished these, them being a sort of side job while other things were going on..I am quite pleased with them though  I think I may offer them for sale at some near future date.All on 50 x 50mm x 3mm bases
