Saxon Leib-Cuirassier Regiment

At last I have prepared another Saxon cuirassier regiment. They are photographed with the painted Anhalt-Dessau cuirassier regiment.

Frei-Artillerie von Kleist

As the Kleist Freikorps had both 6pdrs and 3pdrs, I decided on a 6pdr. This will also serve as a battalion gun.

Foot Officer

This afternoon I took a break from Saxon cuirassiers and made the foot officer for Hungarian regiment Bethlen (IR52).

Taking a 'dolly' casting it took about one and a half hours to complete including pin drilling a new head, soldering and milliputing. Not my best work but when painted it will look OK.

Another unit Prepped

The photos show the Polish Ulan Pulks. A unit I have wanted for many a year. I may have the Pulks painted in July.

Next to be prepped will be a heavy cavalry regiment. Either the Saxon Leib-Cuirassier or an Austrian dragoon regiment in the earlier uniform.

On the Workbench

Since the castings arrived I have been slowly cleaning, prepping and soldering.  

Hungarian regiment Bethlen and the Prussian Kleist ' Green Croats' are ready.

Now working on the Polish Pulks. Quite a bit of soldering to do before they get mounted.

The other photos are from a game last year.
