Old Glory PT III - Muslim Patrol!

Day job keeps me busy. Disney is on my heels and and and. So still no time to get my beloved Westfalia carts done, but a band of Nezam Zedid which are part of a Painting comission that I've

accepted to accelerate Westfalia a bit. 

These Turkish troops were organized after Western example and lead by foreign officers.

My costumer has send some fancy Austrian 7yw NCO along with his Turks. I was adding some suitable saber incl. Holster from a Westfalia set with exchange parts. Finally I was painting him in the 

same scheme like the Rankers since the appearance of such officers is a mystery and it simply looks good.

More Old Glory

I finished my unit of Janissaries by attaching 2 groups of Arab Militia.

Next up is (finally) some Westfalia-stuff I was receiving from Niels. 

Sled-gun here I come!

New Saxon Musketeers

Progress on the Saxon-front is a bit slower than expected. Yet things fall into place with the guns and carts being almost ready.

Now I have the pleasure to present you with the upcoming Saxon Musketeers in campaign-dress. They have a rather realistic mixture of headress and are meant to add some variety to the existing formation.

I am painting these for a buddy and I have to admit that I really like these chunky blokes.

Saechsischer Patronenwagen

I've seen this vehicle for the first time in a book that was released before Germany got reunited for the 10th time. There was a Patronenwagen (Ammunition carrier) for the Infantry and the Cavalry. The 'Hauptpark' of the army had more than 80 such vehicles, which must've made them a very common sight.

I personally love the Trittbretter as well as the nice texture of the side-parts.

The wheels are Bavarian from my knowledge since our own Saxon wheels will only turn up on tuesday! :--)

How obscure can it get over at Westfalia?

Bloody damn obscure! At least if men of the caliber of our valued Costumer Alexander Baden come to make suggestions.

What we see below is a Coach used by the French imperial Post Services. Iit's still in the middle of development, but I really thought this should be shared.

The model is part of Napoleons HQ which is a most interesting topic but certainly something with limited Gaming-value.

And that's that :--)
