I do love me some oompah  8)

The Bavarian Cuirassiers are now finished. A reminder that these are conversions of Eagles of Empire Prussians, using Perry Nappy heads and GS.

Two units of 6, representing the 1st Cuirassier Regiment:








The force is derived from the 2nd Infantry Division of the 1st Royal Bavarian Army, at the time of the Franco Prussian War. As well as the Cuirassiers, I’ve now completed 2 x 12 of the 12th Infantry Regiment, and 2 x 6 of the 1st Jaeger Battalion.





With 48 minis finished, I have another 72 Infantry, 12 Command and 8 Artillery (1 gun and limber) still to do, so not yet half way there.

Here’s everything finished so far, including the British:



Next up will probably be more British Rifle Volunteers (Tower Hamlets) and the German Command.

Re: Dorking etc: UD 9/2 WIP Bavarian Command & Tower Hamlets Volunteers
« Reply #298 on: February 09, 2023, 09:13:06 AM »
Just to demonstrate that this project still lives…. I have made progress with the Bavarian Command & the Tower Hamlets Rifle  Volunteers, with both units (6 Bavarian minis, 12 British minis) both finished and prepped for painting (though there’s SciFi ahead of them in the brush queue).

Four of the conversions for the Bavarian Command. The two junior officers and the sergeant  have had their ‘waving’ right arms altered for a bit of variety. The commander is the ‘Giants in Miniature’ Prussian General Bismark with a change of hat and arm to become Bavarian.



The Tower Hamlets officer is a conversion of the sergeant figure, of which he is pictured alongside. Unlike the much wealthier Inns of Court unit, the TH officer wears basically the same uniform as the riflemen (none of the fancy lace as the volunteers had to purchase their own).
