AWI rebasing - Brunswick Infantry

Working on these has been a trip down memory lane as they are among the oldest figures still in my collection. They were originally painted in the early 70s as my contribution to the Bath Wargames Club's Saratoga campaign. No sign of the dreaded brittle plastic disease and there is still plenty of flex in them as was demonstrated by the need to repaint almost all the musket barrels and ankles.

Front to back, Light Battalion (including a Jaeger company), Regiments Von Specht and Von Rhetz . I also took the opportunity to mix up the poses between the two infantry regiments so the front ranks were kneeling and the rear standing firing.

Overall a lot of effort that might have been better spent painting some replacement figures, but the memories would have been lost.

They certainly look colourful and good to know there is no brittle plastic around.

Cheers, Andy
