In 15mm the AB range offers some superb Prussian Grenadiers, both early and late uniform options.

Do you have Old Glory 15mm in the UK? Their 1812-1815 Prussians are amongst their best figures. You can get grenadiers with big bushy plumes as an option but I use any of the regular infantry in campaign dress with the shako cover for grenadiers.

Take a look at Calpe Miniatures for 28mm. By far the best on the market.

calpeminiatures.co.uk

Their website is a bit factual when it comes to the pictures, since they are mostly unpainted. For some painted examples I would point you to my blog:

Nice work on your Prussians Burkhard.
I've been painting up some Calpe's myself. Not as many as you have, but lots more to paint!!

14th Brooklyn congratulations on your superb figures, i think i will go with the Calpe figures for the 28mm. I also fancy the AB figures in 15mm. In for a penny in for a pound as they say, i am going to indulge in both, the grandchildren can help with the 15mm they have better eyes than me.

Thank you all for your help
john.
