James and I catch up after a few months off, in a conversation that includes the recent Hot Lead event, Henry Hyde's new horse and musket rules Shot, Steel and Stone, and who is the best movie Napoleon.

Front Rank 28mm SYW Prussian Cuirassiers Swell the Ranks
A bunch of Front Rank swells swell the ranks. Trotting off the paint bench are these 12 figures, representing the 5th Margrave Friedrich von Brandenburg Cuirassiers. They been consuming my time off and on since just after Christmas and I'm happy to get to the finish line with them.
As noted, the figures are Front Rank, and I'm so glad that this venerable line of figures was picked up by Gripping Beast. I just chose the regiment because I like the number 5, and liked the blue on beige uniforms. I used this page from the invaluable Kronoskaf website as a guide. The flag is from Adolfo Ramos and the paints used are mostly from the Foundry tri-tone system.
The newly mustered regiment passes in review in front of Der Alte Fritz and are cheered lustily by their cavalry colleagues.
Some shots of my completed Prussian army thus far.
Next in the Prussian Painting Queue (PPQ) is another musketeer regiment (No 3 Anhalt-Dessau) and some pesky friekorps, including Von Kleist's uhlans (very pretty, but can they fight?).
Thanks for looking and blessings to your brushes!
