General Gilbert Désiré Joseph Bachelu's New Uniform and Horse

 

General Gilbert Désiré Joseph Bachelu has been repainted and now has a new uniform and horse. 

Here is the general as I received him, before the refurbishment (facing to the right)

 

 Here is a close up, after refurbishment (facing right)

 Here are two more photos from different angles:

 

His face looks a bit odd in this photo; it looks somewhat different (better) in person.

Here he is from the back. 

All in all., I am happy at how he turned out.  He has not had his gloss applied yet.  The entire army will be glossified at a later date.

 

As always, please leave your comments below. 

 



Prussian 6th Uhlans Report for Duty



The 6th Prussian Uhlans clatter into the Allied camp, wearing their new uniforms,
as the sun raises over the Wurmberg in Bremen.

This unit was formed out of Uhlans from Lutzow's Freikorps and Uhlans from the Bremen Volunteers.  Note the different colored pennons on the lances and the slightly different uniforms.

There are some small differences between the Lutzow's Freikorps uniform/equipment (black collars piped in red, red shoulder straps and gold scales, and black over red lance pennons) and those of the Bremen Volunteers (red collars, white piping on the shoulder strap, and red over white pennons). 

 Bremen Volunteers (red collars, white piping on the shoulder strap, and red over white pennons). 
Note the buttons on the trousers in above plate are not visible.  They are on the figures, so I added them.

I have four remaining Prussian Lancers.  I am thinking of adding 2 more Bremen Volunteers (so that I have a complete squadron of them, and then adding 4 more Lutzow's Freikorps troopers so that I have a squadron of them as well, and then combining them into a regiment. 

Now I will have to find two more Prussian Lancers to complete that plan.  There is always something to do.
