Waterloo in 28mm - My journey log

[Basementboy]

Lovely work as always! Can't imagine how big the collection must be by now

Excellent Landwehr, like the firing line battalion.

Me too.  Nicely done!

Here we have two battalions of 11. Infanterie Regiment led by Major Graf von Reichenblatt. The regiment's fusilier battalion was detached at Waterloo. This is also the last regiment for 14. Brigade so at the end we have brigade commander Oberst von Funck with Feldjaeger ADC.









This was my least productive month for this project in quite some time (though quite productive overall). As I feared, my motivation is flagging a bit. Fortunately, I only have one regiment left to complete the infantry for IV Korps. Afterwards, it's just standard regiments of Calpe figures (and cavalry and artillery...). Some variety at last!

[Basementboy]

Looks fantastic! And I can't blame you for flagging- I struggle to get through a single box!
Congrats for toughing it out, the result looks well worth it.

More excellent units.  As long as your still having fun & painting anything completed is still a good month.

Here we have Major von Braunschweig commanding 3. Neumaerkische Landwehr Regiment with three large battalions. All Perry metals. This is a major milestone for the Prussian collection. It's the last infantry regiment of IV Korps, the last large foot formation, and the last non-Calpe infantry figures. It also just so happens to cross the 1,000 painted figures threshold for the Prussians. Now it's "just" all the artillery, all the cavalry, and then I and II Korps.






This also finishes 13. Brigade so here is their commander, General-Leutnant von Hacke with Feldjaeger.

Very nice and congratulations on the smashing the milestone! Really impressive as always. I'm liking the look of the metal minis far more than the plastics. Much more animation!

Beautiful work, loving your commitment.

Ah, you identified another milestone that was crossed already. No more plastic infantry from now on for the Prussians. Just beautifully unique Calpe sculpts. ~700 of them... There are some plastic cavalry units though in the future.

Badaboom! I have tackled the artillery! Here will have the four 6pdr batteries attached to IV Korps' brigades (one per brigade). I am following my basing convention so each unit has four gun figures representing four sections on a 30cm x 10cm base. The crew are a mix of Perry, Calpe and miscellaneous other manufacturers for variety. The guns are all from Perry.






I have also finished Freiherr von Buelow in overall command of IV Korps with the usual ADC marker. Unlike the brigade commanders with their Feldjaeger ADC, I am giving formal General's Adjutant figures to the higher command bases.

Great job on those Prussians!

These units and their vignettes are awesome! I am glad that you overcame your sluggish motivation as it is such a treat to view your progress. Many thanks to you.
I too am looking forward to more Calpe Prussians. They are superb sculpts.

[CapnJim]

Your recent additions look grand.  Well done!

Excellent artillery stands.
