2nd/25th Lutzow

Rare access to the kitchen, as the wife was out.  The diorama section with the Lutzow battalion mostly on the road and with one company deploying into the fields


It's been a bit of a bonanza this week, not so much because I've worked harder, just that several projects have come together at once.  As already mentioned, the 25th Lutzowers will be coming up the High Road in Plancenoit as a regiment of three battalions.  

Here are the Second Battalion.  These figures were converted by me from the Strelets ACW and from the Hat set.  They were then painted by DL who has already completed one Landwehr battalion.  About 50 are from AD, another 50 from CD and a similar number painted by me, but DL has done the majority.  They look very fine indeed, and I'd like to express my thanks to DL for his outstanding work on this battalion, his last Landwehr battalion and the next battalion of Lutzowers which are on the way.

Front of the column begins to take casualties



This is the rear company. One of the fishponds can be seen in the background.




Group of staff - several conversions.  The mounted officer was Duke of Brunswick with the night cap removed.  Two of the others are Hat Austrian artillery.  Two are Airfix ACW artillery

The mounted officer is Art Miniaturen





The mounted officer is from that rather awkward Italeri Prussian Dragoon set

The officer is an Airfix conversion.

And now slotted into the full diorama




You will see that the section in the distance is yet to be built

  1. Superb! They really convey a sense of movement along the road and the sheer number of figures is staggering.

  2. What a fine column of men, a wonderful sight. The mix of figures, conversions and characters that you weave in make this all the more special. I look forward to each update.
