Hi all
This is my latest sculpt. This project started with a picture of that weird hat, and when I dug deeper into info about it I discovered some really interesting facts and stories. Wermlands konglige fältjägare ( royal wermlands light infantry) was used as s sort of Task Force by Sweden during the Napoleon Wars, participating in both the war against Russia 1808-1809 and in the later German campaign with the final assault on Leipzig as a sort of Grand finale. The Jäger later took part in the Norwegian campaign 1814, and this figure depicts a Jäger during that war and the battle of Lagnes Skans.
It's sculped in Magic sculpt with some details i Green stuff. The head is from hornet and the M1808 rifle is a slightly converted Baker rifle from Reedees Miniatures. Painted in Vallejo Acrylics.
Best regards Lars
