Prussian Infantry 1815

Hello...

it's been a long time since the last Napoleonics I painted. Now I remember why I stopped making them…

So many cuffs, epaulettes, shoulder straps, collars, buttons... And if you're impatient and messy like me, they're quite a stress test.
Anyway, I want to try them again, at least until my nerves say enough...

It's too hard to find my old posts on the subject and the images are probably no longer visible.
So better start a new thread.

All the best

Joan

Great stuff Joan! Glad to see you’re giving the Napoleonics the treatment again!

[Bessiere]

For drab Prussians they look mighty fine to me.
Cheers,

I am dealing with the same army. So it's nice to see you version. Again very stylish and well painted.

[Bill Slavin]

Great work and a good choice for re-entry. There's not too much fussy stuff on those Prussians! I love your soft, muted painting style - a real artist's eye.

Well, it doesn't show at all, Joan. Those Prussians look splendid!

Santi.

Thank you very much for your kind words...

Looking at the fantastic collections of Nappies displayed around, my figures look quite plain and crude...

As you've probably noticed, I'm not a big fan of painting fancy, smartly dressed units. For these Prussians, I've used various shades of gray on the pants and leggings to give that battle worn look that I love so much.

Next Prussian battalion is not going to be clad in blue...

Warm regards

But first I must do some other "painting..."

[Susofrick]

Very nice! And I am also working on Prussians. Right now the 26th.

[Kekso]

I agree with others that these Prussians are really nice.

Wonderful army again Joan!

That's a beautiful Prussian unit, painted in your characteristic style, Joan.
When I saw your troops for the Spanish Civil War, I have sometimes wondered what Napoleonic figures would look like in your style. Well, they don't disappoint me at all and I find them fascinating in their battle worn look.
Thanks for sharing and I'm already looking forward to the next ones.
