Currently on duty are some grenadiers from the Garde Suisses. A trial paint of some sample Austrian figs from Irregular Miniatures. The uniform is that of Garde Suisses from the Duchy of Saxony in the early 1740's, but I decided on Austrian style grenadier headgear.

Hi there Allan,
ReplyDeleteI agree! Very nice figures. I've been thinking along almost the same lines and will try my hand at putting together one of those single-man guard "shelters" that sentries often stood in. These little houses are painted with those neat chevrons on the outside -- much like an illustration in one of the three Osprey titles on Frederick the Great's army.
Best Regards,
Stokes
Sentry Boxes sound like a great idea!!!
ReplyDeleteYes Stokes is right some Sentry Boxes would look great, I'll have to make some too
