Possibly the last painting project for the year. This unit served in the Peninsula and also the 1812 Russian Campaign.
According to the Perry painting guide, this unit's drummer might've been in more of a French uniform, but I wanted him to have the red colored czapka like the one shown for the 3rd Regiment.
I used the flag for the 14th Regiment because it was bigger than the one provided for the 4th. I may scan and resize the 4th's flag someday. I have to figure out how to use the scanner first, though. It's close enough for now as the blue and red are on the same side of the flag as the 4th's.
The main difference is the left side of the flag should also have the eagle on it.
I had just received the order containing the command figures needed to complete this unit the other day. This was the order placed at the end of Novemeber, but it was only shipped a week and a half or so ago after I placed another order for some Prussian infantry figures. The two orders were shown as "Shipped" the same day, however, I've only received the first order so far. Have a lot of stuff as you can see to keep me busy until the other order arrives.
Well, so much for 2024 - it's been a very interesting year, and we still have a few days left in it, so who knows what else may transpire. In any case, looking forward to 2025 and wishing you all a very Happy New Year!
Very nice! Try taking a photo of the flag with a phone. Lots of the phone software is pretty sophisticated in editing. Then print. Scanning is great but tedious at first.

DeleteOne of the best infantry regiments of the whole Polish army of that time. One of my favourite as well. I got plan to do it as well, but I will do it for 1812 campaign. For the flag I will use some of my scans, I did some time ago. As suggested, some phones have great options and could make miracles with source material. I love the way you did your battalion. Splendid and very well painted. Thanks for sharing your work.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Bartek! Yes, they sure had a very respectable unit history. Happy New Year to you!
DeleteA very handsome unit, and the white coated drummers/trumpeters are always fun to do with the DW units!
