Firstly I would like to thank those who left comments on my earlier post re 1815 Prussians, all useful and we have now decided upon Prussian line regiments consisting of 3 x 40 figure battalions, 2 musketeer and1 fusilier, colours carried by the musketeer battalions only and the fusiliers with black equipment straps. We - customer Tony2 and I - ditched the idea of metal command figures for 2nd battalion as they just did not sit well and so reverted to a cut down musket which really does not look at all bad when viewed as part of a 120 figure regiment!
So, this weeks commission output is 240 Prussian infantry. Will just tidy them up and touch up flag edges etc over the weekend before adding textured basing. Next week I'll be painting a complete Epic ACW brigade box of 3 x 100 figure regiments, a three gun battery and mtd command. I also have another new customer for ACW Epics, 44 regiments of 60 figures being the starter army box and 4 packs of additional command strips. Clearly now I'm fully booked for many months ahead alongside my regulars, but it's where I wanted to get to with my painting service.
It's been a busy week all round with family stuff too, but I still managed to add a couple more bases to my own epic collection, 4th Btn KGL and the Life Guards. I now have a total of 40 x 20 figure infantry bases, 14 bases of cavalry and 6 battery bases of 2 guns each so now just able to sit back and enjoy adding the odd unit here and there. I'm vert keen to do Brunswick next just trying to select the best epic figures for conversion.
