Prussian Reserve Regt 12 2nd Battalion

 2nd Battalion 12th Prussian Reserve Regiment 

These guys have been breaking my back for about six weeks and I finally sat down and based them this week. I plan to build the first and second battalions with a mix of Wargames Atlantic figures with Perry plastic  commands and the third fusilier battalion with Perry metals. First off the table is the second battalion of the 12th Regiment in 1813. 

Cheers

Colonel Ythier-Sylvain Prive, 2nd French Dragoons

 Colonel Prive 2nd Dragoons 

As always when I commence a new dragoon regiment I paint the colonel first, however this chap had to wait for a new Mount to join his regiment.  

I have painted him on a rare coloured horse called in French “isabelle” bay, the Americans and Australian a Buckskin. Not a very common colour, in Europe,  a specialty however of the Swedish kings and the Prince Conde de Bourbon in the 17th and 18th century. 

The miniature is a Elite figure which makes up 80 odd percent of my French Napoleonic collection. Hope to crack on and have this unit completed before December. 

Cheers

Matt
