This is the second Saxon cavalry unit, ready for the first maneuvers in the Saxon-Bohemian mountains, scouting Prussian Hussars approaching the borderline.
The regiment "Von Arnim" has the typical Saxon crimson red on the lapels and makes a good contrast to the first Cuirassiers, the "Koeniglicher Prinz".
The figures are of Irregular Miniatures (Cuirassiers) and of Manske Zinnfiguren (Command).
The light in Bavaria is grey and the weather is cold - so you see, the shooting goes with the seasons...
Recently I realize that the flags are made of cloth! As always the photos are magnificent. My admiration and my greetings from the far south, Carlos

Love the standards , Tony
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tony! I am always in doubt if more standards by regiment would give a better effect. - maybe I will try that with the Hussars.

Beautiful figures and photos but such rugged terrain for Cuirassiers! Where are the Cheveaulegers? :)
ReplyDeleteThe Chevauxlegers are in production, you are right with the terrain...

Peter
Agreed! And I love the Saxon Crimson facings.

Another lovely regiment of Kurassiers - great photos
ReplyDeleteThank you, Allan! Saxony has to increase the military power because next summer will take place the battle against Prussia.. So glad that you wrote me!

Well done, Peter. I have some of those same cuirassiers in tin somewhere. You did them justice and as always, the photography is first rate.

Dear Steve, thank you for this comment! It is not easy to find out the exact colors sometimes - I have different sources (one of them is the book of Stephen Summerfield) with different indications. So it´s always a try..
