Well, unless the Poll changes dramatically in the next 24 hours it looks as if the French are well ahead. (That fits rather well with my plans anyway! :-)) Next is the Reichsarmee.
So, the plan will probably be first to do variants on the basic French infantry uniform; someone would like versions of the uniforms worn by the French regiments in North America for a web article which has already used my single French infantry template http://www.immortels.fr/spip.php?article89 so I shall do those units as they make a good small and varied selection. Then I shall probably do some foreign units in French service - German and Swiss regiments, especially, as well as Grenadiers de France. That should keep me busy for a while!
For the Reichsarmee, I shall probably draw a selection of the best infantry regiments as identified by Soubise in 1757 (in Duffy, Prussia's Glory), otherwise there are simply too many from which to choose.
I haven't looked thoroughly into the SYW in India yet but do have some good material for it. It will be some weeks yet before I get there...
Being a uniform and flag design service to wargamers and to the imaginary crowned heads of 17th and 18th Century Europe, especially of the Seven Years War period - now By Appointment to the Court of Saxe-Bearstein! (But please note that the uniforms and flags presented here are not fictional - they are genuine 17th and 18th Century uniforms and flags that are as authentic as I can make them from my sources.)
David,
ReplyDeleteDo not overextend yourself. We in Saxe-Bearstein urge you to pace yourself . . . particularly in regards to designing uniforms that those vile Stagonians want so much.

Happy Saturday David,
ReplyDeleteWow, that sounds like quite a flurry of planned uniform designing activity! Lots of neat stuff to look forward to. Go David, go!
Best Regards,
Stokes
Hi Jeff,
ReplyDeleteNo, I won't - it's a medium-term plan so will take some weeks to achieve. Thanks for the concern.
David.
Hi Stokes,
ReplyDeleteYes indeed but it's going to be a slow and measured flurry! ;-) More "Stroll, David, Stroll"... :-) But hopefully it will produce some good things, eventually.
Thanks for the continued supportive comments.
David.
