More catching up....Two newly painted Swedish Napoleonics units
Having a lot of new castings of Swedes from Perry Miniatures, I have finally decided on which units to paint first for the 1813 campaign. The castings are from the Perry Miniatures range for the Swedish Army. The figures are full of animation in the poses, at least 4 and sometimes 5 different poses in a pack. Even the copper canteens are placed in different places on the belts of the different poses. .
Here are the first completed unit.
Both are of the Varmland Jager Regiment, with dark green coats and black facings. The cuffs and collars are piped white.
Next up, the North Schonen (Scandia?) Regiment. I went with a Liquitex color, "Swedish Blue" for the coat. It is actually less vibrant than the photo shows. I will likely use the color for the 'dark blue' coated regiments, in order to quickly denote them from other 'dark blue (cough, Prussian) units in the Army of the North. The jagers have a green 'brush' the line companies a yellow one.
I will be adding a standard and some flocking. The units will be on the upcoming page on the 1813 Swedish Army. More on that later.

I still am taking lousy photos, this one is very washed out.
While this one is too dark.

Almost a good exposure.
