IR Nr 10 (1st Silesian Infantry)

Another battalion of Perry plastic Prussians marches off the painting table. This and the next battalion will have the yellow cuffs and collars of Silesian infantry regiments.

I used the flag from the painting guide insert that comes with the box. Both battalions of IR Nr 10 used the same flag, and I've got two boxes, so I may do the second unit the same. Or a blue flag for IR Nr 11 (2nd Silesian) from www.warflag.com. 

Normally I photocopy the painting guide, but I just cut this one out and found the heavy paper harder to work with than the usual printer paper. It is thicker and doesn't take folds as easily and I definitely had to paint out the white edge once the glue dried.

I didn't bother with any Big Men since I have several Big Men with yellow facings from painting my Silesian Landwehr way back at the start of the project.

The observant among you will notice that I'm using a sexy new back drop for the pictures. I got it and two other designs for free from Jon Hodgson. Printed them out and glued them onto some foam core. They're only 8 1/2" x 11", so a bit tight to fit a full unit in front of, it, but what do you want for free?
