Personality Figures

 Two more personalities join their armies. The first is a Minifigs 25mm model of Marshal Murat in one of his more flamboyant outfits.  I put him on a Hinchliffe horse as I am not too keen on Minifigs mounts:

The second figure is a Hinchliffe model of Prussian General Gneisenau, in contrast wearing a rather drab uniform:

I do enjoy painting these personality figures, there's quite a bit of research regarding the uniforms and it is fun painting a single model.

Napoleonic Bonanza - Bavarians and Prussians

I am having a blitz on a number of incomplete projects as I am planning a couple of games over the May Day bank holiday.  I have around 25 units to brush up by that date.

Clearing the painting table, I finished off these Bavarian Light Horse from Minifigs S range figures.  The painting was done by Alan, a friendly and kind blog reader, who also converted the figures using British Scots Greys bodies and Bavarian infantry heads.  My contribution was just to paint five of the horses and base them. They do look splendid and will now join my slowly expanding Bavarian army:


Another little project has been the refurbishment of these two Prussian generals that I purchased off eBay.  One had a broken sword which was repaired using a sliver of baked bean can:


Coming up will be a number of 25mm Anglo Dutch units for a proposed Quatre Bras wargame.
