Agreed, very nice work GD! I had a tough time painting the Landwehr cap edging on Calpe miniatures! You've done it on 15mm AB! |

GD are the figures with the white trim on the shakos actually 1805 Russians? |

Jeff, No they are Prussians. That's what the Prussian shako looks like without the oilskin cover on it. Jim |

They are the "reserve infantry in shako" figures from the AB Prussians 1813-15 range. Dan, nice work!! Basing looks great to! |

To follow up on Fredloan's question. I did know that the Prussian shako without a cover looked like this and think the white circle was a temporary recognition symbol, pre 1815. Or is it really a rosette here? My real question though…..and forgive such a daft one….Seen in black and white, can you tell a Prussian from a Russian line infantryman? I recall the former very much copied from the latter, but, other than the oilskin shako cover……………….? |

I think the shape of the shako was different, but the pom pom caused them to look similar when the oil skin was on.
