I will continue to post things slowly, though, so keep coming back. The Reichsarmee infantry are a useful little project as the infantry uniforms are so much easier than many of the cavalry I've been doing previously! The Baden-Baden uniform is done, really, both musketeer and grenadier, and I now need to get the unit and uniform text finished so I can post them. Hopefully that should be within the next few days.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again.<BR/><BR/>All the best,<BR/><BR/>David.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133987073420297016.post-52093203145404742012008-11-10T19:53:00.000+00:002008-11-10T19:53:00.000+00:00Glad to see you back, I've been dropping by on a r...Glad to see you back, I've been dropping by on a regular basis just in case. <BR/><BR/>Keep up the grand job you have been doing.<BR/><BR/>All the best<BR/><BR/>Andy MacAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133987073420297016.post-957886869340466502008-11-04T20:47:00.000+00:002008-11-04T20:47:00.000+00:00Thanks for the suggestions, Jean-Louis; most helpf...Thanks for the suggestions, Jean-Louis; most helpful. :-) I'll give it some thought; little time and energy just at the moment but things will settle down later this week, with luck, and give me chance to think through it.<BR/><BR/>All the best,<BR/><BR/>David.David Morfitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09016926084467625584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133987073420297016.post-23587911616645978712008-11-02T18:57:00.000+00:002008-11-02T18:57:00.000+00:00Maybe 2 labels / template:- country (in a wide sen...Maybe 2 labels / template:<BR/>- country (in a wide sense: "Reichsarmee" e.g.): essential for 'historicals', useful for 'imaginary rulers' who often favor one historical model, and anyway have to chose atemplate corresponding to the minis they intend to paint;<BR/><BR/>- type: maybe 4 categories (though I'm not sure of how to name them clearly):<BR/>° 'line' infantry (including Guards &c..., i.e. corresponding to regular infantry intended to hold its place in the line during a formal batle),<BR/>° 'other foot': light infantry but also (foot) artillery - these are not very numerous,<BR/>° 'cavalry' (i.e. in 'western European' dress, including dragoons and most mounted jagers),<BR/>° 'hussars' or 'exotic horse' (all cavalry in 'exotic' dress, hussars, Uhlans, Bosniaks...). <BR/>I acknowledge the second label would be specially useful for Imagi-Nation rulers in search of, e.g., an inspirational hussar...<BR/><BR/>Hopefully many patrons of David Linienblatt's Military Taylor Shop in Tippelbruder will make their preferences known.

Hope the health issues improve!<BR/><BR/>You can add tags or labels when you create or edit posts - once you create a tag it gets put into a dropdown list that you can select from in other posts. I've done it on my blog, but I agree with Jean-Louis, in your case it would be perticularly useful to readers/users of your templates. It would make it easier for people to find specific templates.Fitz-Badgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15510866929782142007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133987073420297016.post-52825804351514577302008-11-02T01:24:00.000+00:002008-11-02T01:24:00.000+00:00Thanks, Bill and Jeff! :-)It's that wretched thing...Thanks, Bill and Jeff! :-)<BR/><BR/>It's that wretched thing called "real life" that's to blame, I'm afraid, especially time (or shortage of it) and dodgy health but I've decided, come what may, I'd like to get back to doing more templates as I enjoy the creativity and making a small contribution to the world of wargaming and 18tth century history.<BR/><BR/>So, I hope to be back here more frequently now - fingers crossed.<BR/><BR/>All the best,<BR/><BR/>David.David Morfitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09016926084467625584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133987073420297016.post-92186352155406389182008-11-02T00:51:00.000+00:002008-11-02T00:51:00.000+00:00David,I too am glad to see you posting again.
