I have had these figures sitting around half painted now for ages and I finally dug them back out to finish them up. Now I have to start on the rest of the pile of half painted Wurttemberg troopers!

Wurttemberg command set
It has been awhile now since I have posted anything, so here are some Wurttemberg command figures.

Those are just beautiful! You could reenact the trooping of the colors or some parade ground event.
nice paint job Fish, these are great figures - what do think about their conversion potential to French inf 1812-15 - they mainly need a headswap to shako

I agree excellent paint job Fish.Helmet I think there uniform lends well to Polish or even Spanish.
Dave to be honest I don,t really see french in these uniforms as is without converting the front of the jacket buttons, at least in the french uniforms I have seen???
These Wurttemberg uniforms have 2 or 3 buttons coming up from the center and then it flares out into a larger lapel and the buttons go out to the sides.
I,m not familar with french uniforms that do that in the same way as these wurttemberg??? but you could be right?
I have seen similar styles on some polish and duchy of warsaw troops and portuguese and troops from sweeden but even then its a bit different.
The Wurttemberg style has the 3 buttons coming up the center and then it kinda has a V or U up into the Lapel and most of the other similar style square up into the lapel if you know what i mean???
A bit of 2 part putty could turn them into french pretty easy though!
Do you have any photos of french units with this type lapel style?
FISH!
hi Fish
the front lapel area would need altering - maybe the HAT Bavarian infantry uniform would be easier to utilize?
