Brunswick Uhlans

Completed these guys for our Quatre-bras game on Tuesday night. These are CGM figures (from Spain) and are generally ok, although I think the sculptor had difficulty with the czapkas, AB's they ain't but price wise I can't complain. They came with separate lances but these were without pennants, so I discarded them and used some metal lances (25mm spears?) from North Star, the pennants are from ordinary photocopier paper and cut to size.

    Damn fine painting Ken, the yellow and light blue go so well together.

      Ray you are so right, the main black uniform is set off nicely with the blue and yellow.

    They paint up very nice Ken, this is one of my favourite units of the napoleonic war but isn't in an army I'll be doing. Great to see you painted them up so well.

    I sold off my unpainted OG brunswickers to a buddy who has done them proud and will no doubt get a run out in the next week or 2.

    What's next on the painting table?

      Thanks Paul, I have the household and union brigade primed and ready to go. Alas too late for the 18th though!

      Not to worry it's still great to get them off the lead pile!
