Leuthen project

[FierceKitty]

So do I! My work week is so inhuman that I'm painting verrrrrrry slowly.

[FierceKitty]

Prussian regular dragoons are done; now for another brave session on the production line turning out three new units of Prussian musketeers.

[FierceKitty]

Austrian regular dragoons done. There abide yet the following to be painted:
Prussians - two units cuirassiers, 1 unit grenadier dragoons, 2 units regular musketeers, 1 unit Freikorps musketeers, camp.
Austrians - three units cuirassiers, 6 units musketeers, camp.

Pardon my ignorance, but what are grenadier dragoons?  And why are so many of the musketeers camp?

Dragoons in bearskin caps. I daresay the point was that since they'd recently been infantry, they might as well keep a few reminders. Not much used by the Prussians, but there was one unit.
As for their lack of butchness, in an age where the officers used curlers and a man was very likely to wear make-up....

A man's not properly dressed without lace, ruffles, make up and some silks and brocade!

Don't get distracted, FK, keep going!

Romanian infantry officers in WWI abjured from wearing eye liner

The horror! Truly a most terrible conflict. Next you'll tell me someone on the Western Front was seen loosening their tie!

The Prussian army is painted and based. Still some number of Austrians to go, but they're a bit faster, thanks to the miracle of white aerosol spray.

Photos please.

  I certainly applaud anyone who can paint up two such armies. I'd never have the commitment or dedication to get the project even a quarter finished [I just need to look at my own 10mm ACW or Zombies.]

I quite like the basing. As you say, it works well with the plainer base cloth.

I'll post a few pix when my wife's here to help with her greater tech-savvy. In case I've given the wrong idea, I haven't tried to do the whole Prussian army for Leuthen!

[FierceKitty]

The whole force deployed, with too few reserves as usual.

[FierceKitty]

The right wing, with cuirassiers and grenadiers; guess where the punch is coming? There were a few standing grenadier regiments, so the colours are not an oversight.
