Re: My Prussian Uhlans (Set 228) -- All together--joint forces
These various Uhlan and Landwehr cavalry units look fantastic, well done Gerd! The mass effect of many Uhlans together is very impressive, so some excellent photography here as well.
Re: My Prussian Uhlans (Set 228) -- with little conversions
Really nice work Gerd, certainly look better with the slimmer lances.
The pennants, the uniforms, everything really, looks fantastic.
Those horses are really showing the whites of their eyes, which in real terms means the horse is scared or tempermental but in general basically unhappy,which probably would be the case when about to enter a scene of smoke, loud noise/explosions and death.

Hello all,
I hope that I was able to give you a little joy with the photos of the Uhlanen... in these difficult times...:confused:
It takes some time to rebuild the figures, paint them and create good photos.
But I think that the finished works very enliven this forum.
I am always happy when you like the results.
Roger W:
I use 0.5 mm steel rods with a copper sheath from the railway model range. This is the best material I have ever found for making lances. You have to hit these lances hard before they bend... rather, they fall off the figure.

Gerd
May I add my name to the previous host of admirers, what a splendid mounted battle lines. The care and attention you give too them particularly the conversions make me feel a little ashamed,I feel I've done well if I cut off a bit of flash.
I shall further glean the figures for painting ideas as I did with your standing Prussians.
Thank you for sharing

Hello Paul,
Thank you for the praise. I am very pleased that my work has paid off. And because you all create so great things yourself, I particularly appreciate your judgment.
