Just posted pictures of my 4th battalion of the 15th Silesian Landwehr for the battle of nations on my blog: link Minis are all Calpe with GMB flag. Enjoy, Burkhard And some preview pictures (as always… more on the blog):

Very nice, I like the "on campaign" style of you painting, it fits in very well with the Calpe figures. Something I'll try and replicate on mine. |

Thanks a lot! All these positive comments do a lot to keep me motivated! @Sir Sidney: If you want my technique for the mud… Here it is: link Cheers, Burkhard |

Great looking battalion.
What yellow did you use on them. It came out very bright with clean edges. I always have trouble with yellow and having to double coat or undercoat white. |

Thanks again! @ Runicus Fasticus: Well I guess he should take a look at the other Prussians too then!  link @ Ashenduke: The yellow is Sulforic Yellow from P3. Great coverage (just one coat even over dark blue) and a nice shade, too. Larger areas were highlighted with an artists yellow from a German company called Lukas. But the effect is minimal, so you could do without the highlight. Cheers, Burkhard |

You found a yellow that covers with just one coat?
Impressive. On my next orer a P3 Yellow will find its way into my cabinet. Kudos to you (and P3) if that really works. |

Unless they changed the formula over the last two or three years ( can not remember when I bought it) it should work. |

Just seen your reply to my post about the mud. Thanks I'll give it a go. |

Are these the ones I've sent you lately? If so, then you're a bloody fast painter. Love the "Lebusa" bloke that swings the musquet. |

Hi Kawe, no incidently I was about to start painting them whe your minis arrived (so actually I am a fast painter  ). With one or two exceptions the minis are similar though and I had for a short moment contemplated changing four of your for those at trail arms, but I decided against it, since mine were already mounted for painting. Cheers, Burkhard |
