Bright red coat, yellow lapels, collar, cuffs, turnbacks, yellow edge to shoulder straps. White metal buttons. Red waistcoat, white metal buttons. Red breeches, white metal buttons.

    Thanks for all the Italian templates David. There's plenty of hard work gone into those I can see.
    I'm really tempted to build some of these units to add to my 18th C. campaign.

    Thanks, Steve. Glad you like them.

    Although not strictly SYW troops, they do have a certain something that's enjoyably different! :-)
