28mm Perry Plastic Prussian Napoleonic Infantry.

These are 28mm Perry Napoleonic Prussian Infantry, I got them last year before I stopped painting due to the numbness in my hands.  Anyway I lost the paper handout that had the painting diagrams and flags, for the life of me I can't find them and it is irritating at best!  I just dipped these and got them anti-shine sprayed, but they still need to be touched up perhaps.  I painted them up as the 1st Silesian Regiment along with associated Jaegers.   I will still need to dig up a flag and being of limited funds right now to buy a flag set is out of the question.  Here they are, I still do greatly prefer Metal miniatures over plastic, I like the weight and detail you get from metals.

Damn I didn't paint the drum, what an idiot I am...

15mm Prussian Army Commission unit 1 final

So this unit is finished with the exception of flocking the bases.  I need to ask the owner what he wants in the way of flocking.  I have mounted these on Wargames Accessories 3/4"x1" metal stands like I do with my own before mounting the figures. I also attach self adhesive magnetic tape to the bottom of each stand so that when transporting them you put a metal plate in the bottom of the box and then just put the miniatures on it and they stay put.  I use this stand size so that it can be played with either AOE or Lasalle, for Lassale you just use 2 bases to represent one base.  So next I have 38 AB Prussians from my collection that I got in a trade deal that are late Prussians when I was expecting Jena Prussians.  So now they have a new home as I did not know what to do with them.  Gary you will need to purchase separate AB command figures for this unit along with the 4 skirmishers as I do not have those.  So for the next unit I will have 29 to paint.  Anyway here is the first batch and if my research is correct they will be the 10th Silesian Infantry regiment.

15mm Prussian Army Commision update #3

Okay here is the 3rd update for this first unit, damn I wish my camera was better!  Anyway I have the facings, collars, shoulder boards and cuffs painted, I am debating on detailing the cuffs with white strips across the yellow but not sure on this historically.  This unit if what I found on the internet is correct is painted up as the 10th Prussian Line Infantry(Silesian) I believe. Also I did discover that regardless of the unit the facings on Prussian Line infantry were always red. So Gary here they are I hope you are liking them, again I am sorry for the crappy pictures...

15mm Prussian Army Commision update #2

Ok so I got to working on these guys and I do have to say I was disappointed with the detail on these guys very subtle and hard to pick out if it even exists, I am definitely AB spoiled!  Oh well the gentleman I am doing this commission for is going to fill out the rest of the army with AB's so those will be a ton easier and better to paint!!!  I can't wait to get them and start working on them. He is going to be starting with his artillery batteries then on to infantry and cav.  So anyway here is the first battalion, I have not decided yet as to which unit these will be that is the reason for the collars, cuffs and facings are not done yet, also there is some touch up still to do and other bits and bobs like the muskets.  Gary I hope these are good for you, let me know...

New Commision 15mm Mini Figs Late Prussian army

I just got a commission from the FLGS owner here in town that happens to be one of my best friends.  Anyway the first batch I will be doing up is 3 Prussian Infantry Units and 1 Landwehr unit.  These are to be based as Lasalle units.  These from the my closest guess would be mini-fig figures.  After these are done I have some Old Glory and Essex Cavalry that he may want from my stock to be painted up. I discovered that the cavalry that he had gotten were mostly French and or  Early Jena Prussian Hussars etc. So he will need more cav.  Also I pointed him in the direction of AB's website for Artillery and showed him what he should get, that being 2 Horse battery's, 2 Foot battery's and 1 Heavy battery.  Also I have a bag of AB Prussian generals that I had doubles of that he may want for me to paint up for him.  So here are the pics of the figs cleaned up and re-primed black, they were mounted as they are but will be rebased after painting.  Cheers Gary check back here regularly for updates...
