Napoleonic Saxon Grenadiers

28mm Elite Miniatures:

Here are my Four (16 figures each) Grenadier Battalions: I noticed something interesting about these figures though, The Grenadier and Line Infantry figure sculpts are almost identical to each other, the difference being the Grenadiers have mustaches :o) with red grenade patches on their white Tunic turn backs, where as the Line Infantry figures don't have mustaches! :oP


Preparation of Bases





I was a little surprised & disappointed, after receiving my 28mm Elite miniatures Grenadier packs, the figures have no tall plumes but instead short to mini plumes? The Grenadier figures would have looked better with tall painted red plumes and red cords without shako covers of course....anyway.. umm..my flocking of the bases are of moderate quality.

28mm Napoleonic Saxons Part 4

28mm Elite Miniatures:

Finally manage to have free blog time to post updates (sorry for the delay, busy with work and real life commitments) on my 1812 Napoleonic Saxon Infantry Project  (4 Regiments/ 8 Battalions) and One Foot Artillery Battery have already been based/flocked, currently working on editing more photos and should be ready for posting and for your viewing/comments? during this weekend...(my apologies for the long line of photos)















Prinz Clements Battalion









Pre-flocked bases: Line Infantry Battalion, 4 figures per (30mm x 40mm) Command stands will have 3 figures (Officer, Standard bearer and Drummer) My Light Infantry Battalion's will have 3 figures per 30mm x 40mm bases, 2 Skirmishers per 60mm x 20mm or 30mm base, Artillery 60mm x 80mm per gun section.

Von Niesemeuschel Battalion











Oh by the way, after painting so many Saxon Infantry (192 figures) white uniforms I now know how to paint Napoleonic "white uniforms" :o) which was a little concerning on my part because I have Westphalian, Italian and Austrian/Hungarian Infantry Battalions to paint/work on during Fall (Autumn) as well! :o)

All the best, cheers!
