Fanteria bavarese

Great kit!

I was building 1805 Victrix French and Austrian armies and purchased a bag of Bavarians out of curiosity. Very impressive improvements over the earlier figures: the bayonets are quite sturdy with no casting channels to cut off, which is one of the annoying things with the French infantry. Also, there are enough extra heads and helmets to convert other Victrix figures to Bavarians. With slight modification, the late French artilllery (in Bardin jackets) can by turned into Bavarians. The French lancers, with a bit of carving, can be turned into Bavarian chevaulegere. As some of the officers' heads/helmets will need to be used for artillery and cavalry officers, I used the Austrian colonel's heads (in bicorne) to make Bavarian mounted generals.

I do like the idea of faces separate from the helmet as I can paint faces easier .Over all great figures,great models ,not a lot of model lines .
