On Tuesday a small parcel of Perry Miniatures Prussians was waiting on the doorstep when I arrived home from work. This was a long overdue purchase required to finish the Prussian army I started about six years ago.
The parcel contained a regiment of hussars, a regiment of dragoons, a horse artillery gun set and three mounted colonels.
The first item painted were the three colonels.
Next was the gun set.
Finally for this week are the first couple of bombardment markers for the WWI games. I has seen these in photos on a number of blogs, but was uncertain how they were made. Then just a week ago the "How to..." booklet that was included in the latest digital version of Wargames Illustrated contained a tutorial, so I got busy with cocktail sticks, glue and foam chips. I am pleased with the result and will make some more in the coming week or two.
Love this artillery unit, well done Mark!

Thanks Stu.
DeleteThat was quick Mark, I wouldn't have thought you had been back long enough to get anything started, let alone completed. Lovely stuff.
ReplyDeleteA month withut painting...I was in withdrawal! Prussisns are so easy with just blue anf grey so they are a good subject to jump back into.
DeleteGood looking Prussians, Mark! Is this the last of your Prussian Army?
DeleteI can still see adding some cuirassiers and maybe some Landwehr cavalry at some time in the future, but for now that's it.
DeleteNice work! Good looking explosions too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mark. More Prussians (and explosions) on the way.
DeleteGreat looking Prussians and nice markers.
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks Iain. A few more will ride off the painting tray in then next few days.
DeleteThe bombardment markers look good Mark - cant wait to see them on the table next week, along with the E Africa scenery, the colonial gun boat etc etc!
ReplyDeleteAnd there are another four markers under construction.
