18th Century combat

Monday, March 2, 2015

I have been working on a new project.  Something that I've always wanted to do and in previous posts I showed some other pictures of my 1806 project.  These photos are of a newer figure line that is starting out with 1806 Prussians.  The company is called "FG MiniZ Forgotten & Glorious Company of Art" (http://forgottenglorious.blogspot.fr/).  They are a French company and I think the miniatures they've produced are good and worth an investment from those of you who want to build 1806 Prussian units especially since the Euro to Dollar is at a good rate.

One word of advice when you get the figures home is to brush the musket barrels with a superglue to strengthen them.  I find them too weak and easy to break off but brushing them with superglue prior to priming and painting helps.

Now on to the photos (flags are by Adolfo Ramos in Spain) -











As always, thanks for looking.  Comments welcome.

  1. Wonderful paint jobs! Shame they didn't make the musket barrels a bit thicker but they look like lovely models otherwise.

  2. Your Prussians really look terrific with a coat of paint. Too bad about the fragile muskets but your tip is a good one.

    1. Cory,

      I'm painting the French as well. This has turned into a project of my own so it will take some time to get it where I want it.
