Seven Years War Prussians

[Leman]

As my collection of Prussians has started to expand at last I will post some photos of un its and then the army as it now stands;

The 35th IR Fusiliers, first appeared in the magic wash articles:



The first artillery pieces:



The 15th IR Guards:



The 7th Hussars:



Some general shots of the army so far. More cavalry will follow shortly:

I like the look of this army. Great stuff.

Especially the guards and guns.

They seem to have hit the spot. Thanks all. Incidentally the cloth is the faux mink throw that was talked about a couple of years ago, available from Amazon. I took advantage of the good weather, threw it over the washing line and gave the short tufted lime green side some random bursts of a darker green and a sand spray of matt acrylics.

Very nice set-up, DP, the throw really sets-off the figures. Are they Fat Frank's roads you're using?

[Leman]

Very similar; they are in fact some Old Glory 15mm roads I bought over 20 years ago. I think that settles the question of how well flexible rubber roads take acrylic paint. At the time most of my paints were by Colour Party. When Vallejo came along I was able to buy them locally (and still can, as Liverpool has one of the country's major model railway suppliers).

Those Prussians are most definitely a lean, mean fighting machine. Very nicely done and the wash works a treat. Like the cloth as well.

Will you be painting any opposition?

[Leman]

Already produced the Austrians, but been a bit lazy with the Prussians as one of my opponenbts has a Prussian army. However, I want my own Prussian army as he is not a club member. I will also start a Russian army once the Prussians are finished, by which time the Ottomans should be available. Will then be able to host four way campaigns. Here is a shot of some of the Austrians.

Guess who hit the wronf button?

Oooh.....Ooooh ....Me, sir.....I know !

Very nice indeed

I love the cloth. Might have to try that myself. Kicking myself now as I threw out some almost empty cans of spray paint I never thought I'd use
