I have kicked off my the second phase for my 28mm Napoleonic Waterloo project: the Prussians! Oberst von Crailsheim commands the 15. Infanterie Regiment with two battalions of musketeers, one of fusiliers, and the regimental skirmishers. I will set up a page for the Prussians once I have a few more painted. All in, this will be around 2,400 figures which should keep me entertained for a year or two. Off we go!
As my first foray on Youtube, I have shot a simple video covering the Anglo-Dutch army at Waterloo and some thoughts on the composition of the collection. Enjoy: https://youtu.be/rLqA9p1d3dw
My long journey to complete the Anglo-Dutch at Waterloo in 28mm is completed! Hurrah. Photos of the full collection can be found here. Right on time for the 109th anniversary of the battle!
Below are the status of this project – my largest to date – for your amusement:
I will now take a break with some other projects while I prepare the Prussians!
Over the last few months I have added lots of British infantry, cavalry and artillery to the Waterloo collection. You can see the results on the gradually expanding page here.
My next frontier were the Dutch-Belgian forces and particularly MG Bijlandt’s 1st Brigade which is shown in all its glory below. 27th Jager, 7th Line, 5th Militia in reduced size after devastating losses at Quatre-Bras, and finally 7th and 8th Militia.
I have launched a new foray into 28mm Napoleonics centered on the battle of Waterloo. The first effort is the growing Allied Army of the Netherlands. The page will expand over time with new units as I complete them. For now, we have the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th British Infantry Divisions, and an initial start on the cavalry. Some samples below but check out the page for all photos.
