South West Model Show - Bovington

A quick dump of the pictures I took at the show on Saturday. To be sorted/labelled

Napoleonic French - 3rd Provisional Croatian Regiment

When it came to renewing my Napoleonic French Army there was one unit that I had to recreate, this was the 3rd Provisional Croatian Regiment. I had originally used the early version Springfield figures to create the unit as shown in Kannick's Military Uniforms of the World. The replacement unit is all 3D printed.

To create the original rolled trouser look I had to digitally combine the upper half of a French infantryman with the lower half of a Spaniard.

On the workbench - September 2025

A more limited plan this month as I will be travelling, but I may get chance while doing so so assemble various kits/models that ae in my stash. As for painting I will be working on:

• Napoleonic French 3rd Croatian Regiment - well underway
• 4 units of WSS Dutch Infantry
• Some French Revolutionary generals
• 28mm Mexican Gunfighters
• Napoleonic French Grenadiers a Cheval
• Napoleonic French Chasseurs a Cheval
• Maybe get started on my replacement US units for Nam 68
• Start up the FDM printer - not yet done as I never seem to have a clear period to get started

Napoleonic Baden Infantry

My last item for August is the 2nd Baden Infantry Regiment. I had quite a number of left over Bavarian and Wurttemberg figures once I added more command figures to the units, but I had enough for a brigade of each so I needed a unit with a similar appearance, hence Baden who kept the helmet up until the end of 1812. They had numerous uniform changes but I hope I have correctly sorted out the 2nd Regiment in 1810-1812

As with the Bavarians/Wurttembergers the figures are Springwood hard plastic with 3D printed command figures.
