Sighted on the Way to Wagram
Below is my recently finished 'take' on the 1809 Hesse-Darmstadt Brigade, which formed the second brigade of Carra St.Cyr's 2nd Division of Massena's IV Corps. As Anthony Barton never sculpted the troops of Hesse-Darmstadt, these nominally 15mm figures have been selected from his 1806 Prussian, Saxon, and Bavarian ranges, and painted in H-D colours, with various necessary compromises required. Sadly, there was neither time nor skills to attempt even modest conversions. The figures are based on Litko (magnetic) bases, and are organised for the Wagram match at the end of October 2009, and so have been downsized by 33% from the historical OOB to fit the overall scaling constraints. The Guns: The Leib Regiment The Chevauleger Regiment The Leib-Garde Regiment (badly out of focus) Rear Details: Now, back to painting my 'regular-sized' 28mm Russians whilst I still have my eye-sight! :lol:

Very nice looking army. 8) 8)

models look beautiful really well painted and the mass effect is really impressive great work

Nice,very nice :D

Super! This AB figures are so perfect that when I paint them, I feel like he painted himself.. Good paintjob.

:shock: By 'eck Grey, they are the dogs parts.

Really nice greystreak, Very inspirational! And the out of focus ones, great!! shows all the detail of the unit. Brilliant flags too. cheers Paul

Bryce, I saw these in the flesh on Saturday and they were superb - lovely painting. Well done indeed. Malcolm
