The next unit in my seven years war project another unit of Prussian Fusiliers. These are the Von Kreytzen Fusiliers a wonderfully colourful unit in their pink uniforms.
These are a slightly different pose to the majority of the other units I have so far and make a refreshing change
I wouldn’t normally show close ups especially of 10 mm figures but in this case I thought others might be interested to see the quality of the sculpting and casting. It makes them fairly easy to paint. Although I suspect given a LOT more time and patience they would be superb. I am aiming for bulk and they will do for me.
Not really looking forward to the next period of lockdown but hopefully some virtual games and lots of painting to be done. Take care everybody 😀
Hard to believe these fusiliers are 20mm. Super detail and super brushwork. Everyone needs this fusilier regiment in their Prussian army.
ReplyDeleteOf course, I meant to type “10mm.”
DeleteThanks Jonathan I think the next Regiment might be yellow, they were certainly extravagant with their colours ! The sculpts really are very good !
Deletethese are lovely, I also gave mine a different pose
ReplyDeleteTa , they came as part of that large eBay army so I still have a lot of fusiliers to work through.
DeleteThey look great Matt. It's a lovely shade of pink that you have used for them.
ReplyDeleteRegards, James
Thanks James......hard to believe they wore pink but that’s what the guides say next up bright yellow !
DeleteThey look fantastic Matt
ReplyDeleteThanks Neil 👍
DeleteThat's a lovely looking unit Matt. I too paint the unit, not the figure, but for those whose eyes are up to it and have the inclination, some of the detail on Pendraken's miniatures is superb. The AWI and LoA ranges are cases in point, both sculpted by the incredibly talented Clibinarium.
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve , I am finding them surprisingly ‘fun’ to paint as you don’t have to be too careful, and a unit really only takes 3 or 4 sessions so results are seen quickly. The only problem is I want lots more !!
DeleteA splendid addition to the project, just the ticket.
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil 👍
DeleteVery colourful small chaps Matt, very nice.
ReplyDeleteThanks David not sure I would choose to wear pink into battle but that is what the guide says ?
DeleteLovely job, Matt, and I agree, Pendraken do very nice sculpts. Funny to think that back in the day pink was thought to be a dead butch colour for soldiers.
ReplyDeleteThanks A J the sculpts are very fine. My next unit are described as sulphur yellow !
DeleteVery nice painting. I’d love to be a fly on the wall at the meeting where they decided on pink uniforms. Seems like a strange choice. 😀
ReplyDeleteThanks stew...I don’t know but guess they just wanted to stand out !
DeleteFantastic work on these minis!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michal
DeleteLovely looking sculpts and very nice painting! Great shade of pink!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks Iain , Luckily I have some pink as it’s not a common colour ?
DeleteGreat detail Matt wonderful stuff.
ReplyDeleteCheers
Stuart
Thanks Stuart 👍
DeleteCouldn't believe it when I read your reason for posting the close up was they are 10mm - fantastic sculpts and beautiful paint work!
ReplyDeleteThanks , they are very fine sculpts for the scale in my view 🙂
