7YW Prussian Braunschweig-Bevern Regiment

Hoi,

Some time ago I have shown you some of my British regiments for the Seven Years War. The figures I am using for those are actually Prussians from HäT's 7YW range. While basing the regiments for my British army, I based up two regiments, spray coated them and then found out I forgot to cut away the pompons on the tricorns. So there's was really nothing else to do about it but paint two Prussian regiments. And since I already have the 7th Regiment of the line in early and late Napoleonic garb, I thought I'd do one in true 7YW uniform as well.

The uniform references came from the Kronoskaf site and some German books I got hold of long ago which show colour plates on all, yes that's right: ALL, infantry and cavalry regiments of the Prussian 7YW's army.

These figures took ages to finish, but boy are they fine to look at. The pictures really do not do them justice even though I'm saying this myself.The flags are from warflag.com and are a really tight fit but they're ok in my mind.

Cheers Sander

Black Lancers

Hoi,

A long time nu update, this is due to the fact that real life sometimes creeps up on you and demands more of your attention and time then you want to spent on it. But hey, I guess that's life right?
That said, I did find a little time to finish up some more loose ends on the painting desk. Here's one of them: the HäT Brunswick Lancers.

They hail from a mixed boxset of Brunswick cavalry including 3 lancers and 9 hussars. I have painted up the 3 lancers of the set and combined them with a testshot figure from an earlier sprue to make this 4 man unit.

The uniforms came from this brilliant site.

Cheers Sander

The Black Duke!

Hoi,

Since the last weeks of the school-year are in full swing, which means I get a lot of correction work on pupil's tests, I do not have much time to paint. Therefore today brings only a small update.
The Black Duke of Brunswick. The figure of the Duke himself is from Waterloo1815, the ADC is a metal one from CWTOYS and his horse an Italeri French HQ figure.
