Prussia was one of the opponents of France during the Napoleonic period. After many defeats it was the arriving of the Prussian army in the battle of Waterloo that was decisive for the victory of the allied army.
Generals
Chintoys 007 Napoleonic Prussian Staff
This maker of toy soldiers made 8 Generals for the Prussian Army. They are very nice figures that I painted with, probably not correct colours…
1 – Ferdinand von Schill | 2 – Johann Adolf von Thielmann | 3 – Friedrich Wilhelm III | 4 – Friedrich Wilhelm Freiherr von Bülow.
5 – Friedrich Wilhelm von Braunschweig Wolfenbütel | 6 – August von Gneisenau | 7 – Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher | 8 – Ludwig Yorck von Wartenburg.
Infantry
Hät 9319 Prussian Infantry Command (c) 2010
The quality of the figures of this maker can be considered as medium. In each box there are 6 different figures repeated 3 times. Some parts are separate and require fixing, which is not easy with this type of plastic.
The flag was made with metal from a glue tube. Figures were glued on wood bases for increased stability and some static grass was added.
There are two types of arm with sword that enhance figure variability.
