Blasthof Bridge: Electoral (Prussian) Generals

At long last I completed some commanders to add them to the electoral Order of Battle.

The Commander in Chief: a Foundry figure painted as Ferdinand von Braunschweig (click pictures to enlarge):

His ADC, the Flügeladjudant der Kavallerie. He might also act as commander of the electoral cavalry:

These two miniatures are identical to the painting in Osprey's Men-at-Arms Series No. 248 "Frederick the Great's Army 3 - Specialist Troops", Plate B, p. 26, which shows Ferdinand in the uniform of his own regiment (IR 5).

The Foundry figure even has the ribbon and breast star of the Order of the Garter (bestowed upon him after the Battle of Minden) sculpted! The only difference being, that the model wears the ribbon below the coat and not above.

Finally, Johann Dietrich von Hülsen, wearing the uniform of his own regiment, IR 21. Also a Foundry figure (complete with the buttonhole tassels which are typical for the officersof IR 21!) but with a mini-conversion: I promoted him to Generalmajor by stealing some woolen thread from my wife and modelling him a feathered hat-edge:

Here they are all together:
