Prussian 9th Reserve Infantry - Test figure

I have completed a test figure of the 9th Prussian Reserve Infantry (21st Infantry in 1815). This unit used British/Portuguese uniforms from 1813 all the way through the Waterloo campaign.

I have used a Garrison British Light Infantry figure and cut down the base so that 4 figures will fit on on my 25 by 30mm bases.

I have 20 of these chaps so I will need to find/convert some command figures.



As a reminder the original figure looked like this.


I have 3 choices on my short list to paint next.

1. 12 Alberken British Riles as the 2nd KGL Light Bttn.
2. 6 Hinton Hunt recasts British Horse Guards.
3. The first batch of 12 figures for the 9th Prussians.

Which one should I do ?

  2. He looks brilliant, Mark! The unusual pose is also full of character. I reckon you should definitely crack on with the rest of them.

    1. Hi WM

      The rest of the unit are dipped and cleaned up ready for painting. Its about time I did some more Prussians and they should be easier to do than French or British.
