With this nice blue... They are my favorites, not only in one period!
I made WAS/SYW Bavarians in 15mm and 1/72.
And I had painted a whole 1/72 plastic Napoleonic Bavarian army converted from French Napoleonic line infantry with helmets modified from British RHA tarletons (30 years before, ready 1/72 Napoleonic Bavarian kits did not exist).

Greetings...
Once again thank you for your support and kind comments...

I am indeed starting to get quite a collection now... I am aiming to have enough for a game towards the middle of the year...

My latest unit is Lumley's Regiment of Horse...

There is as always a bit more on the blog...

Great looking unit
I wondered were you get the tassels for the flag. I know Front Rank has them for the French but these are British?

Gorgeous.  Red with yellow is a great combination.  Evil Sunz Scarlet is a great scarlet color, and a great paint that is easy to work with.  I might have some boys in scarlet showing up soon as well.

I had forgotten how easy it is to paint these Front Rank figures - except for the button hole lace on the ones that have that :-).

Thank you Helen... almost enough for a game ... but of course it will never be finished... there is no such thing as a finished wargames army.

Thank you DintheDin... I am rather pleased with the horses.

Thank you Kerry... I think they have changed how you can comment... with blogger it’s if it works .... muck around with it. lol

ducdelimbourg... you can find the tassels here...
