The New 3rd Regiment.

 Last year I sold off some of my Prussian miniatures including the command base. So now I'm back rebuilding the 3rd East Prussian Regiment. The first Battalion is made up of Frontrank miniatures with the odd Calpe miniature added in. As for the 2nd and 3rd battalion I haven't decided what miniatures to use. I pretty sure the 3rd Fusilier battalion will be Calpe miniatures.

I still have Saxons by Calpe and Russians by Frontrank in the mix as well. I have a Frontrank French battalion, but I think I'll paint and sell those and stick with Calpe for the French.

Kindest regards.

ACW Confederate Regiment.

Finished a Perry miniatures Confederate Regiment. These are from their excellent plastic range. Go together well, and paint up a treat.

Base as always by Warbase and Tufts from Great Escape Games. Both excellent companies with outstanding service.

Still alive.

 I'm still here. I have not been doing much painting over the lock down. No gaming had taken the wind out of my painting. Still I'm slowly starting to put paint on some miniatures.

This is a  Prussian command stand I painted earlier this year. It sat unbased for a while as my go to base supplier (Warbases) was also in lock down . When I was finally able to order bases again this was first on my list. I went for a 120mm base as I like to give my figures space, rather than cramped on a smaller base. The miniatures are wonderful Calpe miniatures.  The tufts and flowers are from the gamer grass range, which I get from Great Escape Games.

The second base is Prussian courier. Another outstanding Calpe miniature. It comes as a set of 2, so watch out for the other horseman in the future.

I'm still painting Prussian infantryman, plus I have Saxon, Russian and French battalions to paint. Hopefully my enthusiasm for painting will last and I can crack on with my project.

Cheers for now.

1st Battalion Finished.

I've finished the 1st Battalion of the 3rd East Prussian Regiment. Figures are by FrontRank and are outstanding.
I'm especially happy with the bases. The tufts are Gamer grass Green Meadow set. I may add some flowers but we will see.

A photo of my desk and what I'm working on. Mainly Prussians, but the odd fantasy and railroad project to keep me sane.

Thats it for now. Follow me on Instagram for more WIP photo's.

A few more finished.

Still cracking on with my Prussians. Now I have a plan sorted out there's no stopping me.

The Musketeers are Front Rank. The rest Calpe.

Prussians sir. Thousands of them.

Well I seam to be back in the swing of painting again. Over the last few months I've painted more Prussian miniatures than in the last 2 years combined. All I needed was a plan.
I worked out the battle I wanted to do, found a starting point and away we go.
The battle is Gross Beeren as it allows me to use Prussians, Saxon and French units.
I'm using a mix of Calpe and Front Rank miniatures.

The musketeers are Front Rank. The Landweher and Leib Hussar are by Calpe.

I'm planning on finishing the infantry regiment first, then the Hussars and landweher.

That should keep me busy for a while.

Cheers.

Painting Napoleonic's again.

After painting mostly fantasy and sci-fi miniatures this year I've decided to get back to painting Napoleonic's. It will come as no surprise to hear that I'm painting Prussians again. I have finished some Landweher and I'm now working on Volunteer Jaeger and Musketeers. The Landweher and Jaeger are by Calpe, the musketeers by Front Rank.
