Finished the latest unit for my current Napoleonics project, the 5th Silesian Landwehr cavalry. Happy that this is the last Silesian unit for it… I was getting sick of all the yellow! Minis are Calpe with the exception of the casualty being jumped over: link Enjoy, Burkhard And the usual pre-view (with more on the blog):
Please excuse the slightly glossy look. I use a varnish that dries best with UV light and the weather was just too poor for that the past few days, but they will turn a falt finish in a couple of weeks. |

Blue with yellow facings is a really nice color combo. |

Thank you guys! Blue and yellow is nice, but i have simply have had enough by now.  |

Very nice Burkhard. I have yet to paint any Silesian troops for my Prussian army, so am still looking forward to the blue/yellow combo. John |

Wonderful. Any good tips for painting yellow? |
| 14th Brooklyn | 29 Sep 2012 4:44 a.m. PST |
Thank you both! @dam0409: Try to work over a light coloured base with yellow as it will be more vibrant that way. I found that P3 "Sulfuric Yellow" is a nice yellow and gives strong coverage which is rare with yellows. |

once agian you have made dull looking Prussians look outstanding…My Twin wishes he could paint half as good as you do …;) Runicus |

Look great! I know you said your ready to move on from the blue and yellow but I have to agree with idontbelieveit its a very nice color combo.
The pink snouts on the white and grey horses adds a nice touch of realism. |

Thanks a lot guys! Runicus: You humble me! Ashenduke: I actually hate painting horses. So I always have to look at photos while painting them and these things are always infront of my eyes that way. |

Lovely figures you have there, Bob. |

Do you have the 1st Neumarkers yet? Fantastic job on the Silesians |

Thanks guys! @14 bore: They are not part of the current project. Not sure which units the next project involving Prussians will include though. Sorry! |

Thats OK, I'm sure you'll get there some day. Love the stands and leaping over the dead/wounded. |
