Above we have the 3rd and 2nd Elbe Landwher, units codes F11 and F16. Of course, what happened when I'd finished these? Airfix released a set of Prussian Landwher ...
The above two pictures are the 1st Silesian Landwher, unit F27. Nice figures, but not to the same design as the rest of the Airfix Napoleonic range (like the French Grenadier figures that are on the small side).
The last shot is just me taking advantage of the natural light to take a photo without using the flash. It gives a more natural look, particularly to the Prussian blue (which was probably the Humbrol acrylic).
Hi SoY,
ReplyDeleteThat is some devotion to our hobby!
They have aged very well.
we just recently cleared out our old painted plastic Napoleonic collection at a bring and buy.
Hopefully someone will be enjoying them.
Cheers
Paul
Top conversions Mark. Those Airfix French were/are extremely durable and adaptable.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing them on a tabletop game soon too!
Early days of conversions with Plasticine and nail Varnish- I don't think we knew about Milliput and certainly there was no Green- Stuff in those days..thanks for the tour down memory lane! Regards. KEV.
