Here is my latest project :
The Death of Field Marshal Von Schwerin at The Battle of Prague, 6th May 1757
Using the casting by Tradition of London, which was based on the plate in Illustration for Der alte Fritz in fünfzig Bildern für Jung und Alt (Paul Kittel, c 1910). Illustrations by Carl Röchling and Richard Knötel,
I will be completing this vignette over the coming month as posting images of the completed set here.
I have wanted to get these figures for many years, but always put it off in favour of others from that company, but recently when I needed to purchase some figures for a customer who wanted my painting skill, I decided to add theses to my order.

As can see I finished the Field Marshal and now the 5 musketeers are awaiting their 'lick of paint'.

Just the Marshal, but note that the flag isn't as upright as in the plate, but matches the assembled kit on the Tradition website, in this way it should defy gravity and not bend.
More to follow when the 5 musketeers have been completed.
