The 1st Prussian Cuirassiers of the WAS/SYW period, also known as the Buddenbrock Cuirassiers. Figures are by Foundry and are the old charging figures with separate right arms, which allow for a wide variety of arm poses, and which is why I think these are really great figures. I have another Cuirassier Regiment to paint soon using the new figures and I'll show you the results. For the life of me I don't know why a company like Foundry would take a brilliant sculpt by Copplestone and tinker with it to produce a lesser next generation but I can only suppose it relates to moulds and making life easy for figure production.On the subject of the Greenwood & Ball new Russian booklet, it is at the printers as I write this so we are very close now.
A very impressive prussian unit!

Nicely done! A splendid looking unit. What do you plan for the other cuirassier unit to be?
ReplyDeleteI have these guys in Old Glory 15mm, but I'm rapidly coming to appreciate painting figures in 25mm.
Glorious looking unit!
