1st East Prussian Grenadier Battalion


So I read about this group, and decided to paint this as my next set. If you google the battle of Grossbeeren, Germany, you will see a picture of this battalion fighting it out with Napoleon's Saxons. This set was manufactured by Revell. The Hat Industrie sets I find are a little easier to deal with, but as my blog states: "I am an amateur, and not an expert" in this field.

Westphalian Grenadier Gaurds


I finished this set last night. I was inspired by this unit from reading about the battle of Borodino. That is one of the last battles you will see in Tolstoy's "War and Peace."

Prussian Dragoons


This was a set a long time coming. This was one of the first sets I ever bought, and I finally finished it.

Prinz Maximillian (spelling) Saxons


Hat Industries started manufacturing their French Infantry in a white plastic. So I thought this would be convenient to try some Saxons. The uniform probably resembles more of the pre-1813 uniforms as the shako doesn't bare the tassles.

Brunswick Avante Garde


So I finished another set. This is the HAT Industrie Brunswick Avante Garde set. Not my finest work by any means. I remembered being inspired by Whit Young's blog, for Wasatch Wargamers, and his showing of the black uni Avante Garde. I will probably crank out the Saxon Infantry for my next post. Hat started manufacturing their French Infantry set in white plastic, which was kind of convenient.

French Legere


I got some French Legere done as well. I used the Hat Industrie French Fusiliers. I almost have the Brunswick Avante Garde done, in the Black Uni's. I will get some done in the Grey uni's too.

Saxon Grenadiers


Well it has been a while. I got some guys painted, just haven't been able to post them with the move and all. I know that they didn't have the white plumes. I will probably cut those off and paint over them. I used the Hat Prussian Grenadiers for this one.
