The infantry are Les Higgins British rifleman. The standard bearer is a LH officer who has had his arm adjusted and a pin added for the flag pole. The flag is made from a fizzy pop can, a la Wellington Man. The Officer and Drummer are old Hinton Hunt figures. They probably should have black facings but I have done them in red to match the flag and add a bit of colour.
The flag is painted free hand and the lettering is done using a fine pointed brush and little dots rather than painting the letters.
So what's next. Firstly I am started 3 Prussian mounted Officers. The figures are from Newline, mounted on Hinton Hunt British Scots Greys Horses as I don't have any Prussian horses.
I have also started prepping my next infantry unit - some DK Prussian Lutzow Infantry code 122. Hinton Hunt never made a Lutzow figure.
The command are DK Prussians and will need a little conversion to add a Milliput Litweka. I am also using Milliput to add a little height to the Infantry figures as can be seen in the middle figure.
I target to complete the mounted officers and Lutzowers by mid May.
Once again, a cracking unit.
ReplyDeleteYes! Well done.

Delightful and the red facings pick up the red flag and just key it all together - nice one! Just one question: in the last photo of the unit, what is the right hand man in the second rank so pleased about?
ReplyDeleteLovely Mark, a great looking unit.
ReplyDeleteExcellent, and nice to see a Higgins officer who isn't standing on a rock!
