1/1 Landwehr Regiment of the Elbe

Some further additions to the 1815 Prussian Army. I have had a bit of a painting hiatus recently, life got in the way etc etc.

Recently received my final shipment directly from Calpe in the UK. Received in 8 days from the day that the order was placed, excellent service. With the exchange I save, I suspect 25% from the amount the US distributer would have charged. Well worth it.

I have all the miniatures in place now to finish my planned Prussian Army. Still have 2 regiments of cavalry, 6 guns, 1 caisson, 4 Landwehr, 3 Musketeers and 2 Fusiliers as well as some rifle stands and a few further command stands to do. I believe this will bring me up to 2 infantry brigades (18 battalions), 1 brigade of cavalry (7 regiments) and 3 batteries (12 guns) of artillery. The equivalent of a 1/2 Corps, I suppose. I suspect I am around half way there, not bad since October but Calpe figures are a joy to paint so it has not been too difficult.

Next up are some Landwehr of the Elbe. These troops represent the 1st battalion and thus have white shoulder straps. Nice to paint, I always enjoy working with sky blue.

There are some duplicated figures in the battalion, but every figure has been made unique by its paint job.

Usual nice Flagdude standard.

Calpe figures always have nice extra bits to paint.

Lots of hair on these guys.
