"Rumford Bavarians 18mm Sho Boki" Topic

This so called Rumford uniform, along with the unique helmet and white uniforms were worn by the Bavarians in the French Revolutionary Wars till about 1799 / 1800.
The miniatures are from Sho Boki and the paper colours from Adolfo Ramos, the miniatures painted for 11th Füsilier Regiment von Preysing

Very nice vonW. I don't know my Rhine front as well as the Low Countries. Were they in any major actions wearing this other than Hohenlinden?

Those are cool…so much so that I went to Amazon and put a Hohenlinden book on my wish list!

When you mention Mass Army Project on your website what does that mean?

quite a lot of fighting in 1793 to 1794 at the Rhine, also taking part in the siege of Mainz – it is not sure what uniform they did wear at Hohenlinden there in 1799 a new uniform should have been introduced, it seems however that a part did still carry the old Rumford dress.

Impressive!
But should'nt the breeches to be a bit darker?
I liked these Bavarians especcially for reverse from usual contrast – white coats and dark breeches. Like Hungarian Infantry in Austrian Army.

@Darryl
This question is probably to me, I am not aware about von Winterfeldt website.
Mass Army Project is my standard to create infantry units. Preprepared dolls for Command set – Officer, Flagbearer, Drummer (now also NCO), and trooper pose for 3 sizes: Small – like Austrians and late Russians 160-165cm tall troops; Medium – average troops 170cm; and Tall – over 180 cm grenadiers.
This is intended to create sets faster and cheaper for commissioners.

Indeed I have no webside, about trousers I did go according to original item and contemporary portraits.

here the images I based my "grey" on, one is an original in the Bavarian Army museum at Ingolstadt, the other a contemporary print, one will notice the difference to modern interpretations, in case of doubt or choice I usually prefer the original / contemporary source. I may however paint in the future a darker and colder grey to enhance contrast.
