The last step to completing the Prussian
infantry are the grenadiers. These are only twelve elements but represent the
combined grenadier companies of 24 regiments. All details were noted on card to
include the grenadier cap with cloth and trim.
As I painted, I methodically checked off
each completed section and moved onto next. In three short sessions, the twelve
elements were repainted. The final step, black lining, put the finish touch to
these elite units.
The grenadier battalions did not carry
standards with one exception, the 3rd battalion, 15th
Regiment (Garde). Their assault of the church at Leuthen has been immortalized by
C. Röchling’s painting.

Great looking figures!
Thanks for the kind words.
I am putting the finishing touches on four regiments of Hussars (8 elements) and a pair of Frei Korps Hussars.
Dragoons tomorrow and the Cuirassiers are the final part of this project.
