1/ 3rd East Prussian Musketeers |
Big Chris has completed another three battalions of my Calpe Prussians along with some Jager skirmishers. I’m biased however I think Chris is one of the finest painters of large armies in the world. I know uou see some amazing works of one or a group of figures however to paint hundreds of them to such a standard is truly incredible.

Maybe another - I do have to show off my scratch built graveyard |
Jagers skirmishing |
An overall view of the undersized brigade |
Exceptionally well painted miniatures. With lovely backdrop terrain.

Thank you very much John. Recognise the inspiration behind my graveyard?
DeleteYou are so right - I zoomed right in to those photos and the quality (precision) of the brushwork is amazing for such painting in bulk. The graveyard allusion eludes me - do tell.
ReplyDeleteHi Rob. John Ray is an extremely interesting and unique gamer, sculptor and collector. His book self- published “ A Military Gentleman” is inspirational, full of first rate figures, photos and story. He sent out some mini- campaign pdfs many years ago and his graveyard full of SYW Russians was the inspiration for my attempt. His collection is unsurpassed in my opinion.
DeleteThat is indeed fantastic painting Carlo! to do one figure would be amazing, hundreds is astonishing!
ReplyDeleteGreat looking terrain and the graveyard is "to die for" 😁
He is absolutely incredible Ben
DeleteHello Carlo
ReplyDeleteWhat magnificent battalions - Prussians ... Calpe Miniatures ... well painted! I think that I shall swoon! 🤣

I think of you Peter everytime I do anything with Calpe Prussians. I still have all our correspondence from 2003 I think when we were discussing the Prussians of 1813 and the research you had conducted etc.
DeleteThose are indeed some splendid figures. 😀
ReplyDeleteThanks Stew - greatly appreciated. He is a very fine painter that’s for sure so very pleased whenever I get some figures taken care of by him.
DeleteToo true Lawrence. They are really tremendous sculpts.
ReplyDeleteLovely figures Carlo…
ReplyDeleteA nice painting style and very consistent…
All the best. Aly
Thanks Aly. He has a very fine style which I do admire very much. Mine is a bit more haphazard however my “ Aly Wash” helps cover all kinds of painting sins😅
DeleteHave to agree with all the above, quality to aspire to and nice settings as well ☺️
