The Loose Association of Wargamers

I have been painting some more Kieler Zinnfiguren for my Freiburg project.

First up a unit a Prussian Frei battalion.



I have painted these as the Frei-Infanterie von Lüderitz and these were part of Kleists command at Freiburg.

For my next unit I decided on a paint restoration on the remaining old factory painted Kieler Austrian Grenadiers I bought on ebay.



This is how they looked before my restoration.




I have tried to recreate how they might have looked when they were bought in Vienna in 1936. I repainted, touched up and tidyed up the paint work.

Finally I have painted an Austrian officer again using a Kieler figure.

Those are splendid!

Very much so.

Lovely!

My "old factory" senses detect the sweet smell of success.

My latest painted unit is the Karlstader Oguliner Grenz in their earlier pre 62 uniform. The privates are Grunewald figures whilst the NCO is a Kieler figure.



I have also bought some second hand painted figures from Berliner Zinnfiguren.

Hungarian Infantry





And Prussian Cavalry



The Infantry cost just over £2 and cavalry £4.20 each. Postage was 15 Euro.

Run out of superlatives; absolutely lovely!
There's something indescribably elegant about flats.......
