Elite Miniatures Prussian musketeers preparing to be finished and based a while back |
Now from the outset I need to be honest.
These are indeed some older photos of figures that were on the workbench a Emile back and now actually await an outing on the field of battle. It was however, an excellent opportunity to once again sing the praises of these figures from Elite Miniatures and the wonderful service from Nathan at Elite Miniatures Australia in Townsville. He is a star.
This project has grown well and the painting of the figures has been a joy.
Prussian mounted staff officer who may well be a Russian 1807 casting impressed into service for the King. |
Some French converged Grenadiers undergoing some work at the same time |
Not a great photo but the variety of poses in the range of musketeers is most impressive indeed |
Keep them coming Carlo. Love the look of the Prussian early war uniforms.
ReplyDeleteThey are quite smart aren’t they Greg. I’m not wanting to go too made so perhaps only a couple of divisions and a brigade or two of cavalry…
DeleteGreat looking troops, and ooooh the flags!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much P.
DeleteHello Carlo
ReplyDeleteTruly an army for the highly cultured collector. A huge commendation to you sir.
Salute
von Peter himself ... hardly biased at all
Oh Peter you sweet talker you…
DeleteI thought you would like these Early Prussians. Now to get them on the table!
I love the look of the early Prussian army, and were the figures available back in the day, I would have done them. Yours are looking might fine, Carlo!
ReplyDeleteInstead, I have a mass of Prussians in their rather dreary later uniforms. :-)
I’ve always loved the earlier uniforms in the period Peter though really do draw the line at 1805. The figures are beautiful to paint though I am currently labouring over some Elite 1806 Saxon infantry at present.
Delete1805 is a reasonable starting point for sure! They'll just have to do for any 1796 - 1800 era games! :-)
DeleteAbsolutely mate. There are some wonderful collections of that 1796-1800 era on the bloggersphere at present.
DeleteLovely stuff! great to see a fellow 1806 fan
ReplyDeleteIt’s a great period and the uniforms are gorgeous.
