I have just completed the Renovation and Refurbishment of one of my old Prussian units. Original purchased many years ago from the B&B at Triples. This unit was used as two 16 man units and both have seen a lot of action.
As part of my SYW R&R project, inspired by John Rays excellent book 'A Military Gentleman', I am reorganising my infantry units into 30 figure battalions and finishing the basing in a traditional style as used by the late Peter Gilder.
These are Dixon figures and have been refurbished as the 12th Infantry Regiment - Erbprinz Von Hessen - Darmstadt.
Anyway here are a few before and after pictures.
Notice the rather open order look of the basing using 40mm by 50mm bases with 4 figures.
And the refurbished unit using 45 by 50 bases with 6 figures per base.
I will be ordering some GMT flags to finish the unit. These boys will be one of the units I will take to the AMG15 game at Partizan next May.

Mark,
The basing is spot on!
Should look stunning on the table.

It is amazing how changing the basing can effect the appearance of the unit. Good work!
Jim
These look really smart with the closer basing, very neat. Hope we'll meet at AMG15.
