The batch of 15 jaegers is very close to being finished. Just metallic bits and many small buttons left to do. I know, I know. . .
In the meantime, a reprise of various images of AWI-era troops that I found online sometime ago. Mostly Hessian with a Prussian or two, but the top illustration apparently represents a pair of Ansbach-Beyreuth soldiers. All have provided handy points of reference during brushwork on the current project.
Osprey titles et al are great, but sometimes it's fun to look around online for other uniform references, you know?
As I mentioned in the previous post, I got a couple of details wrong on my figures and reversed the colors on the hat ribbons. Discovered that rather egregious error only AFTER finishing the tiny detail in question on figure #15 a few evenings ago. Sigh.
Ah, well. My
forces are imaginary after all, but we'll still call 'em the
Ansbach-Beyreuth jaegers. Stay tuned for a few photos once they are all glossed and bases terrained/flocked.

In other news, the six clear, rippled PVC 10"x20" water overlay sheets arrived from China on Friday or Saturday afternoon. They should do the trick nicely once once cut into shape and colored on the underside.
One unanticipated challenge, however, will be getting them to lie flat given theeir strong tendency to curl back into the rolled shape in which they were packed and shipped. Any suggestions on how I might correct the problem?
