Flats workbench: Reichsarmee units

Here are a few snapshots of half complete units for my flats project to paint all units involved in the 1758 encounter at Zinna.

The biggest unit will be the four batallion regiment of Kurmainz. I want to base this unit so I can use it as the usual six base, 24 man batallions for wargaming, but I also want to have the option to combine them into one three rank display unit of nearly 100 minis. It's not easy to find an arrangement of the minis that works for both purposes, especially as the three ranks have to be shifted to the left resp. right enough so the minis all have space to overlap the rank in front of them.

First test arrangement of the minis

the first two batallions, set up as a combined unit in three ranks

The same minis set up as two 6-base batallions for gaming.

Finally, I have finished the first half of the Plettenberg dragoons.
