The colonel and the Colour Party, as usual ~
The rank and file next ~
Of course in the SYW the Regiment was stationed in America, but I liked the flag design with the harp so here they are fighting the French somewhere in Europe. As I’ve said before, my toys, my game. (Lace freaks have my permission to lie down in a dark room until they feel better!)
Next to feel the caress of the brushes will be the 2nd Horse, stationed in Ireland during the SYW, but I liked the standard and red faced green uniforms. After that there are the French Cavalry Regiment Orléans.
If I can face yet more SYW figures then I have two more infantry regiments in the Lead Pimple: a Foundry/Casting Rooms Miniatures French unit , perhaps as the Garde Lorraine, and a Cran Tara unit , the Royal Ecossais in their blue bonnets. We shall have to see how the muse holds up...
A great looking unit David. Ive given up on actual orders of battle, well as long as they arent too out of kilter.Its great just to pick some pretty regiment and paint them up. As you say your toys.

Many thanks for your support Christopher .
DeleteNo problem with lace there, beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI loathe painting lace! I've just finished the 18th's Grenadier base. I loathe mitres even more!
DeleteA lovely looking unit David...
ReplyDeleteThat cap waving his hat looks a proper bruiser...
All the best. Aly
Many thanks for your encouragement Aly. They all look a bit mean I think myself. I've started the 2nd Horse as well now.
DeleteAlways considered you as a safe pair of hands Mr.B. so What's all this reckless behaviour about. Doing regiments just because you like the colour of their cloth. Whatever next! The length of their jib!
ReplyDeleteReckless,Moi? You need to take more water with it I think! 😉
DeleteSee you on Wednesday!
