Hi Gents,
After a rather lengthy 2.5 month hiatus from painting Calpe Prussians beacause of my Vimy Ridge project, I finished up this reserve regiment. I know they did not carry flags but I decided to give mine some anyway. I also painted the officers in grey overcoats, who wants to be a target of French skirmishers! Comments are welcome.
Cheers,
Thomas [URL=http://s219.photobucket.com/user/tjm3/media/Calpe%20Prussians/IMG_0140.jpg.html]

Shades of Grey! Very well done. My Reserve Regts carry flags as well, because, well, they SHOULD have (and maybe like the Landwehr, some did anyway). Peter |

Very Well done!
The approach I took for my modeled 1813 Army, was
this:
1) typically there were 1 lieb ( exceptions 11th & 12th Selesian) + 4 regt colors available per Prussian issuance.
2) 1807/8 the "2 field" musketeers were carrying 2 flags per, per the old format, then it was reduced to 1 ea prior to 1813, so flags were available.
3) In 1813, the reserve battalion were 4, 5 & 6 depot battalions of a parent regiment.
4) So I have 2 of 3 of the reserve btns carry the regiment color associated with the parent or a made up version very similar (of the SYW reserve format w/o central eagle and crown) to that of the parent flag. MG |

Beautiful painting and basing! Should make those Marie-Louise fellows quake in their boots. |

Thanks Chaps! MG, this is the 24th Battalion, I have the 23 painted as well. I like your idea of using the depot flags. Cheers! It's interesting, when I look at these photos, I see things I missed. Completely missed painting the shoulder wings on the Fusilier battalions bugler! |

Thanks Paxx.
Yes lots of figures, thus far:
Line battalions 26
Landwehr battalions 25
Cavalry 20 regiments
Artillery 15 batteries
Skirmish stands 6
Command stands 10
I didn't paint all of them, some of our group helped paint 4 battalions of line.
Almost done! |
returns to Flintloque to paint an Ogre.
