Leuthen project

Nice touch giving the hussars the captured flag.

I'll tell Fritz when I see him again.

Good looking array of troops.

Cardboard with a layer of epoxy glue. In a few cases I've explored including a length of paper clip wire as well, lest the bases warp. I don't flock, since I think if your cloth doesn't have a matching texture this draws attention to the bases, rather than increasing realism. Perhaps someday I'll find a suitable textured gaming cloth and need to redo the whole nine yards.

Works pretty good 

DOn't worry about flocking though, that goes on fairly quick!

[FierceKitty]

Very odd, really; no heavy infantry or heavy cavalry yet (be starting on those soon).

Nice

Yep. That's very coolio

[FierceKitty]

Some more SYW. All the Austrian grenadiers (no flags ), 25% of their musketeers, and von Petrowski's uhlans, who look a bit smarter than the photograph shews.

[FierceKitty]

Kalnein musketeers, and the amazing 5th (von Bayreuth) dragoons. At Hohenfriedburg they took 67 (count 'em!) Austrian and Saxon standards. I don't care who complains that doing Prussians and Austrians is a SYW cliche!

[FierceKitty]

My better half set up the shot, which explains why the grenadiers are lagging behind the musketeers. This is four battalions, all German; there will be three more German and three more foreign (Hungarian and Italian) battalions eventually, with eleven for the Prussians (one being Freikorps, who don't really count).

TBH I have always preferred the eastern to the western theatre. My next army will be the Russians.

[FierceKitty]

Russkies are tough and have superb artillery, but their hussar uniforms don't look as good, imffho.

[Leman]

.....but there is so much red - a real red army.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Very cool!

Very nice I look forward to following the progress of this project
