Prussian Landwehr Infantry

The next units in my 25mm Shiny Napoleonic project are:

1st, 2nd, 3rd Silesian Landwehr from Bülow’s IV Corps 1815.

Each Infantry stand in my armies will represent approximately 1,000 men, so each of these Prussian regiments will be 2 stands.

Most of the figures are Minifigs that I purchased on ebay and did some minor touch ups on. Compared to most older figs that I’ve acquired, these were well painted and in good shape. All I needed to focus on was the muskets, pants, and shoes (I did a few in bare feet).

One officer (hidden in the third rank here) was a new Lamming line officer figure. I’ve read that some Landwehr officers/ nco’s came from the regular line regiments and often kept their original uniforms. This was probably more common in 1813 than 1815, but I wanted a little more variety and a nod to this practice. 

I used GMB flags to replace the original flags on the flag bearers that I’ve acquired from many various previous owners. The bearer in the third rank appears to be a conversion of a Minifigs Landwehr officer. Well done, and nice variety, so I gave him a fresh coat of paint (he was somewhat chipped and had red collar and cuffs) and used him otherwise as  converted.
