Figures Painted

The two Milliput figures shown in the last post are now painted. 

They have joined Prussian Frei-Battalion Mayr.

Update

Following the conclusion of Mollwitz, which was thoroughly enjoyable, I have been playing a mini-campaign. The first two games have been minor skirmishes and each fought on a 6 x 3 foot table.

In between throwing dice I have been using the soldering iron and milliput to make a Prussian foot officer and NCO. At some point in the weeks leading up to Xmas I will paint them....not sure which regiment as I believe all my units have a full compliment. So it might be they join a Frei-infantry battalion.

Mollwitz Finished

This morning the Mollwitz saga ended.

I still have to take the final move photos. 

Over 150 miniatures were removed as casualties and that did not include those than ran during the contest.

Very enjoyable.

Polish Army for the 18th Century

The AMG Forum has a number of interesting and informative threads appertaining to the Polish during the early and mid 18th century. 
I am fascinated by the Eastern theatre....  Ottomans, Cossacks, Tatars etc.

So why not Polish.

Well having made my take on a unit of Polish Winged Hussars for the 18th century it makes sense to expand and include some infantry and cavalry.

So yesterday I made a Polish Ulan Pulk figure circa 1740's uniform.

Next will be some infantry figures.
