1st East Prussian No. 1

 These figures were 3d printed. I backed a Kickstarter from Napoleonic STL Files, David Vazquez Fernandez, " Prussian Infantry".

I painted them as the 1st East Prussian No 1. From 1808 to 1815. I followed the information I got from the book "The Prussian Army During the Napoleonic Wars (1792-1815) Volume 1" by George Nafziger.

French 19th Chasseurs Cheval











 These are more 3d printed miniatures. They have plenty of detail. So painting them is not a chore. I used Scale 75 Instant Colors for most of the painting.

The 19th Chasseurs Cheval were part of Eugene' 4th Corps' Light Cavalry in Guyon's 12th Brigade during the Invasion of Russia 1812.

Duchy of Warsaw 16th Regiment












 These miniatures represent the 16th Regiment of the Duchy of Warsaw. The 16th was part of Poniatowski's 5th Corps in the invasion of Russia 1812. They were in Mielzinski's Brigade in the 16th Division under Zayonchek.

I lost track of which company made these 18mm miniatures but I think they are Old Glory. I added 3 miniatures I printed to the command stand. They are from the new Kickstarter coming out by Polkowski miniatures. They supposed to be 28mm but I reduced them to 56%. I think 55% might have been perfect.
