Lovely - they really dazzle!

Congratulations. Line infantry will now fly off of your brushes by comparison. I always dislike painting cavalry because it is really two figures.

Great work and congrats on finishing them! Even if I had the space for them I don't have the patience to paint that many figures of a single unit, and such a "fancy" one in terms of complexity of uniform!

Presenting the Anspach-Bayreuth Kuirassiere!!!

Here they are, with the rearmost nine figures still drying, three squadrons of the Anspach-Bayreuth Kuirassiere, now in the service of the Grand Duchy of Stollen. And now, it's onto that artillery!

  Saxony's Ploetz Cuirassiers, an illustration lifted from the Kronoskaf website, which has thus far guided my spectacularly glacial painting of 30 28mm Eureka Saxon cuirassiers purchased all the way back in October 2016. A gray, cool Saturday here in Mid-Michigan with rain in the forecast. The Grand Duchess is away at a conference, so it's just "The Boys" here at home.
