"2nd Battalion 25th Regiment, the Lutzow Freikorps" Topic

It's been a bit of a bonanza this week, not so much because I've worked harder, just that several projects have come together at once. As already mentioned, the 25th Lutzowers will be coming up the High Road in Plancenoit as a regiment of three battalions.

Here are the Second Battalion. These figures were converted by me from the Strelets ACW and from the Hat set. They were then painted by DL who has already completed one Landwehr battalion. About 50 are from AD, another 50 from CD and a similar number painted by me, but DL has done the majority. They look very fine indeed, and I'd like to express my thanks to DL for his outstanding work on this battalion, his last Landwehr battalion and the next battalion of Lutzowers which are on the way.

The next battalion, which is Speira, is in production and will be in contact with the French, further up the road.

Wow!!

As ever these are excellent, both the models and the photography. The 'arial' shot is particularly interesting.

Should be wonderful when you get it all together.

I agree. Once this project is complete it will definitely be a "sight to see."

Fantastic work on everyone's part.

That is a amazing work project, hats off to you.

I am impressed, but also cannot believe the work you have managed this week.

Does not "'er indoors" not object and cry "why doest thou not address me any more? There is no intercourse betwixt us" (I get this muchly, the comment, not the intercourse)

Indeed, verily, she might cry, saying unto all that would listen "for the hostelries art opened, unto those that would dine, yeah even those with their spouses, yet here do we languish".

And there was a weeping and a lamentation over the land.

Tell the truth, in all seriousness, I simply cannot believe the scale of the work you have all achieved. I have maybe contributed under 300 cavalry figures now. They may have brass buttons with regt numbers in 1/72 (they may but they don't) but I see great painting in these figures now shown.

Book a holiday. Portugal is nice…or it was so until today! Yet struck was it with the pestilence and plague, doth did pronounce Boris. I can almost hear the gnashing of teeth thing from our Iberian Allies

Ha! This is a project 30 years in the making and, in the last year has had 70 or so supporters (painters, advisers, builders, figure donors etc) join in, of which you are of course fantastic example. So while it may appear as if everything happens very fast, there are explanatory circumstances. As to the long suffering wife, she is in the same line of work as you and happened to be on long days all this week. The children are away and I had the house to myself. I'm working from home with travel curtailed so with more time. There you have it!
