Brilliant job, good to see them getting used after a couple of years in my drawer

Cheers chaps!

Some more Classic Napoleonics. This time Brunswick Hussars.

Very nice hussars!

From the absence of a crimson sash on the officer, I'm assuming these jolly well painted chaps are girding their loins to defeat the Emperor at a well-known railway station on the Brussels road. It's not widely known, but the hussars from the 100 Days was a newly-raised unit - like much of the Black Horde in that fracas- and did not contain the veterans of the 1809 and Peninsula campaigns. That hussar unit remained in British service (in the Mediterranean, I believe) until after Waterloo.

I did not know that.

The last 30 or so bases of 6mm H&R Early War French plus a lot of homemade buildings for same that need a lick of paint and a few HO/OO card pre-printed buildings for friends new railway layout.

I've just put together a Zvezda 251/1 Ausf B Stuka zu Fuss. Well I've put together the 251. I thought I'd get everything painted before I attach the rockets & crates. There are a couple of anomalies with the kit, the box art shows a standard MG 34 with a shield at the front and an empty AA mount at the rear but the kit would put the AA mounted MG at the front and nothing at the back. I'm sure I've got suitable bits around to sort that out.

As most of the colour pictures are of models I thought that I'd take a look to see what colour people painted the rockets. They seem to range from bottle green to black, I'll probably settle on dark grey.

As an aside, I'm old enough to remember when Lego were so anti military that they refused to produce brown bricks in order to prevent kids making cammo patterns. I was rather surprised to find this
