Great Northern War Saxon Curassier

Post by RogerC » Fri Nov 04, 2016 6:31 pm

Hi, just finished my first unit of Saxon Curassier and added the post to my blog.

All Warfare cuirassier with the breast plate under the coat and I do think they have come out well.

Unfortunately as photobucket is down I will need to add pictures to this post later, but lots of pictures on the blog.

Worthy for the recognition in the Jedi Archives...ehrm...Saxon Archives :lol:
„Macht Euch Euren Dregg alleene“

"Sort your filth out by yourself!" The King of Saxony Friedrich August III., at his abdication 1918, referred to the quarrels in the parliament and the squabbling within the provisional government.
