Finally got another Regiment done for the 'Black Army' .
I'm pleased to get this one finished as it was started nearly 6 month ago , lack of casting metal , cold weather and busy doing other things are the reasons for the delay .
The uniform is of Infantry Regt. No 17 a Bavarian unit , here seen mounting guard for the first time and being inspected by the 'Black' army General .
My next task is to cast up some more Uhlans as 'Black' army is sadly lacking in cavalry at the moment. (click on photos to enlarge)
Delightful - and a very fine regiment and a splendid cornflower blue- look forward to seeing the Uhlans

Excellent fellows indeed!
ReplyDeleteVery nice. Out of interest, what size are the bases?
ReplyDeleteBases are 30mmx30mm precut from Warbases
ReplyDeleteLovely figures, and Bavarian Blue is my favourite uniform. May I ask what books you are using for reference, for both the red and black armies?

The 'Black' (German) Army uniforms come from - http://digitalgallery.nypl.org/nypldigital/dgtitle_tree.cfm?level=1&title_id=269277 (The NYPLDigital Library) a treasure trove of old prints. The'Red'Army from various sources - an old Almark book- British Uniforms and the Blandford British Army Uniforms also the above website which I think is brilliant ! Cheers hope this helps Tony
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info on sources and varnish Tony, I am really inspired to do something similar
