1848 Prussians 2 - 28mm Flats



Finished the Prussian infantry battalion, 21 figures in all.  As mentioned in the previous post, they are old Heinrichsen castings, first issued in 1853.  Painted with acrylics.






I enjoyed painting these and the work went quickly on account of their small size and relatively simple uniforms.   I do plan to base them, knocking them down like dominoes a few times while setting up the photos certainly reinforced that as being the right approach.

  1. They look great- I bet those muskets are a bit fragile, though!

  2. Thanks, Simon. The pointy parts are actually a lot more resiliant than you might think. They can be repeatedly bent and straightened out.

  5. Lovely figures and brushwork. I feel the 1848 Butterflies stirring.

  6. Thanks, Alte Fritz. Why not indulge the butterflies from time to time ? ;-) Unless I've missed something, you've been remarkably consistent sticking to your knitting with the 7YW era over the years.

  9. Peter,

    Thank you very much. Not sure I'm worthy of that but it's gratifying to read it anyway.

    Best regards,
