Wittenberg - Palace Gate Sentries

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,

    I 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
