I know the poll still has 3 days to go but I'm surprised to see the French cavalry so popular. I'm sure the last time I offered them as an option they were way down the list. A few generals' uniforms I'm quite keen to do so I'm happy that option's 2nd. And the hussars are not last this time! Amazing! ;-) It's a pity the Prussian Freikorps are so unpopular - there are some wonderfully exotic uniforms like Schony's Freikorps grenadiers and the Von Kleist uhlans, horse grenadiers and various infantry. Still, I'll probably get round to them eventually, as I like them myself.
Please get your vote in if you haven't yet done so!
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.)
D'oh! I didn't realize there was a poll (I keep up with blogs through Google Reader). Too many good choices, generals, no, frei korps, no cavalry... ach! :-)
ReplyDeleteWell, I went with generals' uniforms, but frei korps is a close second.
ReplyDeleteHi FB,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked the choices - but generals' uniforms was a good decision. :-) I like the Freikorps uniforms too so they'll turn up eventually. They also have the advantage over French cavalry and generals that they are easier to do as they don't require so much fundamental work.

Hi David,
ReplyDeleteWell, my vote was for another category, but the Von Schony Freikorps did have a lovely uniform, and one of my future planned units will have a uniform that's very close to it. Enjoy the weekend.
Best Regards,
Stokes
Hi Stokes,
ReplyDeleteSo, both you and FB were rather split on what you really wanted! I suppose that could be said to be a successful choice of options to give people, then. ;-) What did you vote for, by the way?
Thanks for voting; hope you have a good weekend too.
All the best,
David.
David,
ReplyDeletedo what you *enjoy* to do!
It's a hobby, man, NOT a 'serious' work, so keep it a pleasure.
Compliments and thanks,
Jean-Louis
Hi Jean-Louis,
ReplyDeleteWell, they're all things I wouldn't mind doing and it helps to know what people might actually want!
All the best,
David.
P.S. I'm still thinking about those de Saxe uniforms - but they're difficult as there is little reliable visual reference for them...
Hi there David,
ReplyDeleteWhy, more hussars of course!
Bes Regards,
Stokes
Hi Stokes,
ReplyDeleteBut of course - I should have guessed. ;-)
All the best,
David.
