I completed the von Bulow fusilier regiment for my SYW Prussian army in Pomerania. The figures are Minden Miniatures and the flags are from GMB Designs. My Pomeranian corps is now up to four battalions with the completion of this battalion.

Very nice work DAF!
What paint did you use for the buff trousers?

Magnificent. Inspiring…
Left hand restraining the right one from going to SYW drawers and start something there, stating " useful stuff gets done first". Duh.

@ wrgmr1: I used Reaper Master Series Paint "blond" triad:

09256 – Blond Shadow
09257 – Blond Hair
09258 – Blond Highlight

The second stand from the left uses all three colors, while the other stands largely use the Blond Hair as the base color and Blond Highlight as the highlight color. Often I limit my paints to just two hues, but I kind of like the way the triad system worked on that one stand.

When I paint the second battalion of the regiment, I think that I will use all three of the triad paints.

I usually paint two battalions of 30-32 figures for the full regiment; so 64 total figures plus one mounted regimental colonel.

This gets me in the mood to paint my F&D Fusiliers. Very nice painting.

@ DAF, yes there is noticeable difference, thanks for pointing that out.
I tend to paint 36 figures at a time using two or three color method. Sometimes the 3 color is lost, sometimes it's noticeable, particularly with brighter colors I find.
