I made no attempt to find the correct uniform details for this figure and painted him in exactly the same way as the troopers. I have a suspicion that particularly in the late Prussian army special uniforms for musicians may have been a luxury hard to come by – that’s my excuse anyway.
I have another five troopers to paint to complete the unit which I want to do in time for Vintage Leipzig. This will mean that the Boers (who you can see sneaking into the photo) will have to go on hold for a week or two.

Gadzooks, Ian, what a corker! Are you going to tell us how you did him? Whatever it was, you've done it brilliantly. Congratulations!

Thanks Matt - the trumpet is just brass rod and modelling material nothing as clever as your soldering technique!
Impressive conversion, Tony
Ian,
Nice work there with the Mounted Prussian...your keeping up to a steady production there...Hintons and Boer War - a good combination. Regards. KEV.
Thanks Kev - not so much steady as slow I think!
Only a month to go to Leipzig, so you will be working away Bob Cratchit-like to be ready.
In theory Stuart - yes!
Very nice Ian! I have these guys to paint.
