40mm Hessian Workbench

So I have been slowly working through these guys for some time but finally making some progress with the Hessians.

As always images from both cameras so forgive the photo overkill. The first lot are sharper with clearer colour but focus is an issue with a couple.

All these figures are 3d prints blown up from 28mm to 40mm the STL files are from Piano Wargames and 3d printing by Paul at Sabotag3d

Four musketeers first, all of these have black pompoms whilst I decide which figures fit together best.

Two officers, original uniforms had blue trousers with a yellow stripe but quickly wore out and replaced by brown, somtimes still with the yellow stripe.

I have chosen to have an officer and standard bearer in blue trousers, possibly recently arrived to replace field casualties.

This sergeant is one of those printed a little too large and will therefore be a separate leader figure where its less obvious, the sapper is a lovely figure, both have brown trousers with yellow stripe, this should be a theme through the unit with one or two on each base rather than on all figures.

Another shot of the musketeers, really lovely figures these with much paler Shako covers than previous figures.

I had a couple of figures printed without a head, this chap in the bicorne being one to allow a head swap and provide some variety, flags are for the Hessian second battalion.

Nice Group shot here giving some idea of how the finished unit will look..

The old camera group shot for comparison, colours washed out but still looks ok.

I think the head swap came out ok, the head is a metal Perry from the French drum major.

Again a mix of shako colours and trouser but brown trousers predominate and a good mix with yellow stripe.

Possibly the best picture of the officers, these will be based in the unit as I already have the same two figures as separate leaders.

This gives me 28 or so Hessians so I can start figuring out which ones to base together and then finalising the pompom colours for them.

Thanks for stopping by, hopefully see these on table fairly soon.
