Workmen and Generals

Astute regular readers will think that they have seen the last civilians of below before...well you have, because when I placed this order I put down the wrong code and reordered a set I already had. Still, at least I have done them in different coloured clothes.


Finally there are three Swedish generals. Now, they are not really Swedish...no one makes Swedish general for 1807-08 so I needed to convert. The nearest I could find were the three figures that make up the Perry Prussian high command set that were decapitated and given new plastic heads. They still are not correct - contemporary illustrations dhow them wearing leggings and high boots rather than overalls. I could have cut down the overalls and given then green stuff boots, but since the cavalry wore overalls on campaign, I figured that it was probably not unreasonable that senior officers might too...well that's my theory and I am sticking with it!



There are still a couple more Swedish generals to be done, but they may not be done until the New Year.
