Here are two German Uhlan cavalrymen, an officer and his trumpeter, dressed in their dashing early war uniforms, wearing the distinctive flat-topped czapka helmet.
These 28mm castings are from Great War Miniatures. Very nice models to work with and quite elegant poses on the whole.
I made up a signpost for the officer's base, one sign pointing to Ieper (the local spelling of Ypres (thanks Nico!), or as the British called it: 'Wipers') and the other indicating the ultimate prize of the German advance: Paris.
These two cavalrymen will nudge me along with 20 points.
These are so cool, like the addition of the signpost

Excellent work Curt :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful painting work.
ReplyDeleteNice painting work! The correct spelling of Ypres would be Ieper, though. With an 'I' and not a 'L'. Trust me, I've lived there and I speak the language.

DeleteYour greyscale work is very impressive, as always.
ReplyDeleteDo you know if anybody makes dismounted Uhlans?
Thanks very much Rob, much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteIn answer to your query, no, I've not come across any manufacturer who does a dismounted Uhlan. I may have to resort to head swaps to bodge up a few (ugh).
great work Curt you must have the patience of a saint to paint all that grey.
ReplyDeleteThis stuff continues to amaze dude. Outstanding work.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work Curt!
