After all those fancy musicians here's a taste of the darker and more workaday side of war - a very soberly dressed Upper Rhine artilleryman of the Reichsarmee.
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.)
Interesting, pretty much all green (except for black hat and gaiters and brass buttons?), huh?
ReplyDeleteHi FB,
ReplyDeleteYup. ;-)
Not forgetting the bit of yellow lace on the hat, of course...
Quite relaxing to do after all that da**ed lace! :-)
Thanks for commenting.
David.
Artillerist are always difficult to find info on. Thanks...
ReplyDeleteThanks, Bill. I'm glad you find it useful! :-)
ReplyDeleteNext a Saxon artilleryman, I think - also in green!
I did plan to do more on the map icons but having had a dabble I find I have no inspiration or inclination to do more on them at the moment. So more uniforms it is!
All the best,
David.
Hi David,
ReplyDeleteI really like this uniform. Quite a nice change from all that fancy stuff.
Best Regards,
Stokes
Thanks, Stokes. So do I - much more relaxing to draw too! ;-)
