Blucher Arrives

I completed my Prussians from Essex. I also found a pack of Prussian Uhlans from Minifig in my lead pile and painted them up just for good measure. I modeled the Uhlans after some of the lancers in the original army. I undercoat in white and did not give the figures a wash so the colors are brighter than the originals.

12 new troopers from Minifig

22 new command stands

One original infantry added to 3 new command figures. Color matching was hit and miss but will look fine from 3 feet away. It was a fun project and a nice departure from my usual mass recruitment painting slog. I made no effort to match flags to historical unit types but rather picked ones I liked or matched the uniforms.
