Perry Prussians (IR3, 2. Ostpreußisches)

[Lt. Hazel]

A while ago two friends and I talked about starting some grand-scale Horse and Musket stuff. The conflicts me liked most where the SYW, WSS and Napoleonic. With all the plastic-goodness available we decided to play the "Befreiungskriege 1813-15". This wars give us a nice selection of colourfull troops.
I started with the IR3, the 2. East Prussian. This regiment will later enlarged to 24 man, but 16 is enough for the beginning. Two layers only (except flesh and trousers, 3 layers there)  to reduce painting time. Flag is a repainted GMB flag (highly recommended), miniatures are Perry plastics with some minor conversions, including an arm from the Frenchies box.

Very nice work. I think the limited highlighting workls well.

They look great, I dont think if you had not mentioned the painting shortcut it would have been noticed.

You must add some Calpe personalities at least, they are lovely miniatures to paint and I would love to see your take on them.

Look great to me!

Especially like the flag and drum.
