Uniform details and flag taken from the Greenwood and Ball/Garrison booklet 'Uniforms of the Seven Years War'. A slightly enlarged second edition is available from 18th Century Press and has nothing to do with me!
Anyway, finally got round to finishing a Cuirassier regiment:
 |
| Two companies made up a squadron. Or it could representing two of the five squadrons in the regiment. |
 |
| The standard is from page 11 of the booklet. |
 |
| 7PC1 Cuirassier officer |
 |
| 7PC2 Cuirassier |
 |
| 7PC3 Trumpeter. The trim is silver with two lines alternating yellow and red. There should be some blue triangles in there somewhere but I didn't bother with them... |
 |
| 7PC4 Standard bearer. No idea what colour the ribbon should be, probably red, but I've just done it the same as the trumpeter's trim. |
So with a squadron of cavalry finished, perhaps I'll be able to speed up a bit...
Just brilliant figures, always were!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteLovely looking unit, great figures and a nice job on them.
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteA real war gamers' unit. Superb!
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteThese are particularly nice figures, I like the way the troopers seem to be arrogantly expecting their opponents to just run away rather than put up a fight - just perfect for Seydlitz's magnificent men.
ReplyDeleteThey do have a way of carrying themselves, don't they?
DeleteNice looking unit. They do have a certain and appropriate arrogance to them! :-) I have posted standards for the unit here: https://nba-sywtemplates.blogspot.com/2021/04/leuthen-prussian-flags-project.html in case you are interested in an "upgrade". ;-)

Had I known of this page it would have made a difference... Probably just let things stand as they are. Now doing the 3rd Dragoon regiment - again, uniform and standard in booklet!
DeleteYour SYW posts just keeping getting better and better Rob. This is a cracking regiment!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Think other people are happier with them than I am. Must readjust my thought patterns.
