Latest classic Napoleonic unit. Prussian Silesian Landwehr. The flag is made from the thin metal foil from a bottle of wine.

Wow Mark!  Those are lovely.  Great job on them and so much braver than me to do the flag in foil.  Very old school indeed!

Well its taken way longer to get this next batch of figures completed but they are finally done. Polish Guard Lancers. Hinton Hunt FN44 with separate Lance arm. The trumpeter has been converted using a transplanted arm from a plastic figure

Hi Paul

My next unit  is a 6 figure squadron of French Line Lancers.



The Hinton Hunt figure on the left is both taller and fatter than the pirate copy Der Kreigspieler on the right. I add a bit of Milliput to add some extra height. There is not lot you can do to make figures fatter.

5th Line Lancers completed this morning.



The unit is a mixture of original Hinton Hunt and Der Kreigspielers copies.

I have had a squadron of Scots Greys on my painting table for a while now.  So this weekend I took a break from my 15mm WW2 and finished them off.

I got these original Hinton Hunt figures a few years ago and the previous owner had made alterations including docking the tails.  They needed a bit of work particularly on the swords which were fragile. The trumpeter was made by a transplant from a Newline figure.
