Just before we journeyed 'Oop North for a few days dodging the monsoon-like weather I started on two more Roosian mounted figures to serve as a command base for my Jaeger regiment. They are finished now and so I thought you'd appreciate a quick peak before they join their command in their RUB in GHQ ~
The figures are from Great War Miniatures of course, a mounted officer in cap and a Dragoon trumpeter in helmet. The latter was a part of Colin Ashton's generous gift package at the outset of this project last year. I thought the trumpeter would be a nice addition to the officer in making a Regimental Command base for the Jaegers, so I hope you approve.
I fixed the first eight Jaegers for the third battalion to their MDF hexes ready for painting on our return and can report that they are finished, varnished and fixed to their final base ready for texturing tomorrow. The next eight are now in their place on the MDF hexes ready for their turn under the brush. They are from the Firing Line posed packs, a mix of figure poses, available in helmets and caps. Wish me luck with all those cap bands, seven done on those so far!
Another cracker for the collection, that trumpeter will get the men's attention and avoid any blunders🙂
ReplyDeleteBlunders, moi? Shurely Shum Mishtake?
DeleteA very nice command stand and the trumpeter is an absolute cracking figure. Lovely job on both figures.
ReplyDeleteVery kind Donnie, much appreciated.
DeleteAnother great command stand there David and the trumpeter does make a nice addition to the composition, maybe working for a cavalry unit as he sounds the 'Charge!'?
ReplyDeleteThank you SteveJ, I always welcome your endorsement! No doubt they will command different formations at times.
DeleteI'm pretty sure my approval makes little difference, but another great addition and a clever way with the trumpeter to make a two figure infantry stand different to the rest.
ReplyDeleteAs for cap bands I have sympathy and wish you all the luck and patience you'll require. Bon chance.

Your encouragement is much appreciated Stephen, thank you. I'm glad you saw my intent to produce something a little different as a positive.
DeleteSimple but nice David 👍
ReplyDeleteRescued from Spam, again! Thank you Matt for the support, simple is more my style nowadays.
DeleteAnother fine command stand for the Russian Horde.
ReplyDeleteThe addition of the trumpeter,or should it be bugler for Jaegers? is a great idea.
Thanks Andy, much appreciated.
DeleteLovely work there David…
ReplyDeleteI may have to steal that idea…
