They look great, Ken, and wonderfully colourful.

Thank you Iain, a true gent.

try now, let me know..

Yep. Sorted

Excellent - I think the first time around I could see it because I was logged into googlephotos? I logged out and it disappeared.

Brilliant work Ken.......I am still putting the stones on the walls of Troy...then I have to paint them before I get started on the remaining four or five units I need!!

A couple of things....

1. I got kicked off Photobucket, I dont think I can embedd images using google photos like bucket did.

2. After three years I'm crap at painting, shaky hands means I'm having to go over my mess. I think my painting days are over, though having said that I'm enjoying it.

Any advice for embedding images would be appreciated.

When you have the photo open in Google, right click and select "open image in new tab". Copy THAT URL rather than the Google one.

A brief departure from the Reichsarmee today with some unusual Prussian dragoons and jaeger for 'Green' Kleist's Freikorps. These are Old Glory 15s figures and the dragoons' standard is by Maverick-Models Flags.

The dragoons are actually part of my huge stash of spare Austrian Horse Grenadier figures. Back in the days when Old Glory sold them in bags of 30 cavalry or 100 infantry, around eight figures in each bag of dragoons were Horse Grenadiers (now it's two figures in a bag of nine). HOWEVER, as I was mainly using them for Saxons and Reichsarmee, I didn't need the flippin' Horse Grenadiers, so they accumulated, waiting for me to do something with them! There are another 16 figures waiting to be painted (it was a big regiment and I have a lot of them) and the last dozen will eventually become the Wurttemberg Horse Grenadier Regiment.

The purists are probably heading my way with pitchforks and burning torches now, as the back of the bearskin is wrong for Kleist's lads... The figures have a 'bag' at the back, whereas Kleist's dragoon-cap had a fusilier-style dome and spike. Ah well, Blandford's 'Uniforms of the Seven Years War' also got it wrong, so I'm in good company...

As someone said to me on the Napoleonic Wargaming FB page recently, "If you can't be bothered to get it right, you may as well be playing Warhammer!"

Me neither, but happy to go with Essex Boy's panegyric.

RMD - Always had a yearning to do the von Kleist unit since Foundry brought out their SYW ranges, but never got round to it, and probably never will now, safly (sniff!). Excellently done, though, Mark.

Ayton is 3 weeks away. Time to get cracking on the last of the Zulus needed

How many? I've got 48 infantry and 10 cavalry to do, from scratch (based and primed, but no paint as yet).
