Excellent stuff - love the weathering on their trousers!

Great stuff, wonderfully nostalgic remembering the old Airfix Waterloo set.

Thank you mates!

For those intersted... I also have a tutorial on how I paint my mud:

Lovely, vibirant looking paint job there, weathering is really nice.

Great job. I've said it once and I'll say it again...Peter's Calpe are the best Landwehr out there. They really are great to paint. I loved your previous Prussian posts Burkhard...nice crisp painting in the Uhlans etc. I'd say these look great and really stand out when they are on the table. Just a quick question...which yellows did you use for the Landwehr and the Uhlans?

[14th Brooklyn]

Thanks! I am already looking forward to the day when I have all the units for this project finished and I can do a great review!

The yellow is Sulforic Yellow from P3. Great coverage (just one coat even over dark blue) and a nice shade, too. Larger areas were highlighted with an artists yellow from a German company called Lukas. But the effect is minimal, somyou could do without the highlight.

Cheers,

Burkhard

Hi Burkhard,

I really love this style of brushwork sir. Like I said before, this is job well done.

BTW, how's Calpe compare to Perry in terms of quality and size?

Best regards,
