ALY MORRISON'S "BUTTERFLY" ADVENTURES IN THE WORLD OF WARGAMES AND TOY SOLDIERS

Thursday, 18 February 2021

Shiny Napoleonics... Prussian Freiwillinger Jäger

 Greetings...


It has been a little bit longer than normal between posts... I’ve been a little bit busy with work and life...

Yeh!... Once again I’ve had to make lots of toy soldiers... boo hoo my life is so bad 😂.

I have however now cleared the wargames table and set up my photo booth to taken a few pictures of toy soldiers...

I have added a small unit of Freiwillinger Jäger to the 1st West Prussian Infantry Regiment Nr.6.




It seemed rude not to add these to the Regiment...

They have been painted exactly the same as the previous Battalions except...

Instead of blue for the tunics I have used Wargames  Foundry Forest Green 26B.

I am pleased with these and I am positive that although small in number they will perform magnificently...

That is of course... unless I am using them.

The figures are Minifigs Intermediate range with the bayonets removed and shako covers added by me..

And the bases are as always Warbases...

All the best.   Aly

    They look very splendid, Ali. I rather like the thick bases. Is that 3mm please?

      Thank you JBM...
      The advantage with such simple figures is that you can add extra bits of detail if you want... just using paint.

      All the best. Aly

    Wonderful figures wondergully painted.

    Sometimes, like now, when I look at your blog,I get that feeling of being a kid with his nose pressed to the window of a toy shop and wishing and dreaming....

      In many ways I am still that kid in the toy shop... I am certainly reliving a childhood I never have...😁

      Work is so inconsiderate... they should just give me the money and let me play with my toys...

      That’s called a pension isn’t it?

    3. Aly Morrison22 February 2021 at 20:52

      Yes a good point... but what if work still paid me and I still collected my pension...
      Imagine all the toys 😁

    Grand, though they look a tad tame without shiny spikey attachments 🙂

    I love the toy soldier like faces you have given to your hardened veterans. It makes me smile every time I see those bright pinkish lips. You really have mastered the "look"!
