20mm Bavarians done.

 Sort of.  Think I missed a couple of things on the officer I should add.


Again, simplified version but look OK on the table.

Officer and standard bearer are both head swap conversions rather than cast conversions so may be a bit fragile.

For some reason this photo won't let me edit the picture size or add text... standard from Warflags.
My original photo shoot showed a slight mistake... now corrected.

Napoleonic Bavarians - some test conversions.

Sorting out a few conversions some of which may (may) finish up on a mould.

I've started with Bavarians. There was one Bavarian figure I found - BA4 - but not on anything that could be considered a production mould. One main weakness of the current range is a lack of artillery figures, so again artillery crew seemed to be a good option.
Simply used the standard French 12 pounder as the artillery piece.

The crew are simply the British artillery crew with a head swap. No officer because I haven't made any yet!
The portfire figure doesn't have his portfire because it broke - which is pretty normal.

Sadly blurred picture showing the original unpainted BA4 next to a marching conversion - this time I put the head on a French infantry figure.
It is unlikely that the artillery crews will ever appear on a mould - I'll probably only need 4 of each if I do Bavarian and Wurtenburg crews, nowhere near enough to justify mould space, easier just to convert them. However, both infantry will probably be made - say 150 or so figures (?) would justify their place.
