A distant trumpet calls : 1806 Prussian Cuirassiers

[Beano Boy]

I`ve been moving tree`s about,and as anyone that has ever made them knows stuff falls off. So that is what is upon my table. __________________________ Early Fall!







There was interest in these recently. So I thought I`d be adventurous,and valiantly I opened up this old box.

2002 Saw me trying to paint these. I succeded in getting the colours on I wanted,but not finer details. I recall because there was no eye or hand coordination it was quite punishing to my eyes.Perseverance coupled with determination is the name of the game.



For those starting out on the road of painting Napoleonics my advice is paint some Cavalry,because there are only a few in the box so less likelihood of getting bored to tears, and giving up.My early work stays as it is ,as a pleasant reminder of just how hard things were. BB

Hi Paul... you inspired me to do some research on those uniforms and to decide to buy that set.

Good and interesting work. I have only one hint to paint your horses with more differences. Use some thin dirt- or light-greyish-colour. The horses are in action, they transpire and ride through mud. So they colours of their bodies are not always the same one.

Looks good Paul!

Somewhere in the stock I also have some of these figures!
