Dear followers, first my excuse for long-time silence, but maybe you know it also: the professional life absorbes sometimes a lot of energy and time. In the meanwhile I couldn´t produce as much as I would, but I have some news: today I start with the first part of four about my Saxon army. You see my grenadeer bataillon "Kurprinzessin", which got the name of Maria Antonia Walpurgis, Kurprinzessin von Sachsen. I like this regiment very much because of their seldom colour of a grey-blue, called bleumourant (a french fashion colour at this time: a "dying blue" what you see in the evening at the late sunset).
The figures are from Prince August and token from the Rossbach-serie. I like this moulds because of their high relief-quality, nevertheless they are semi-flat figures.
The standrad-bearers are from NMZ, the flags are selfmade in the computer after a long-during research of sources.
In the next post I will present you the renovated saxon artillery with some templates of uniforms.

Lovely, sir. And the flags are gorgeous indeed.
ReplyDeleteAs for the few casting flaws, they are in fact obviously the result of enemy fire. I noticed a missing pom-pom which a bullet must have carried away.
They look very good, sir.

That's a very smart looking unit, Monseigneur. I like that you've included some of the Karoliner grenade throwers as well.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about the blog activity. Life has a way of intruding. I started a naval wargaming blog which I have neglected most horribl of late, although I do feel some guilt about it.

Thank you Jeff, you´re comforting me - it´s hard after long-during painting nights to see the complete regiment with some flaws on small places....
ReplyDeleteSteve: You´re so right, sometimes life absorbes me into too much projects... so I am happy not to be the only one.. Thanks for your words!
Monseigneur
very nice figures well done
