Re: Zinnfiguren
After a consultation, or should that be a therapy session, with the Basemeister, aka EB, I have now confirmed my basing. Infantry on 90 by 40mm with 10 figures, or 8 and a mounted officer and cavalry on 90 by 50 with 5 figures. Bases will have rounded corners and be painted a nice shade of green. On a separate
rectangular base I will have the unit name and one of those little square dice holders to record casualties.
So this week I have been painting extra figures to bring my Infantry up to strength. Here are a Fahnenträger for the Erbprinz and a Prussian Zimmermann.

Re: Zinnfiguren
I have now painted extra figures to bring my first units up to strength.
I have used 90 by 40mm bases for Infantry and 90 by 50mm for Cavalry.
The bases are painted a nice shade of Green using Vallejo Golden Olive (857) and I have stuck a piece of green felt to the underside to make it easier to slide the bases across my kitchen table or green mdf playing surface.

Re: Zinnfiguren
The "Erbprinz" unit is looking suspiciously "Charge"-like......
Just saying (and good on ya!).

Re: Zinnfiguren
Very nice! Must be expensive using that Vallejo for bases.....☺
Being cheap, for my toy soldier armies I used Vallejo "Goblin Green" for the figure bases and pots of the sadly missed Wilco emulsion test pots - they had a very nice green that matches the Vallejo.
Fortunately, I stocked up, but sadly not on their quick drying acrylic gloss varnish.......
