Another couple of battalions roll off the production line. On this occasion it is a pair of Airfix Prussian infantry. The figures, painted as East Prussians, were painted from scratch after they had spent a couple of weeks bathing in Dettol to remove the old paint.
I am quite pleased with the results and tempted to paint another two units:
Very smart looking Prussians Bob
ReplyDeleteThanks MJT. Probably over smart, I should have painted some with bare feet!
DeleteLovely work on the Landwehr they look great, I think they were the only Napoleonic set I never had, pretty sure I had moved on from Airfix when they released them, so nice to see them all painted up, nice figures.
ReplyDeleteThanks Donnie. I have had them for years and have only just decided to do something with them. They are not bad figures. It's a shame that Airfix did not include a drummer.
DeleteHi Bob - I’d mix the poses to make them look a bit irregular. That’s what I did with my last effort on Austrian Landwehr and it does look rather good!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeffers. A good idea mixing them up, I wish I had thought of it sooner.
DeleteI remember the excitement of these figures coming out in 1979ish, useful for ImagiNations, 19th Century troops, American troops …
ReplyDeleteThanks Mark. They are nice figures, although there are some odd poses amongst the set. They are nice to paint.
