My acquisitions from our show (MFCA) last weekend:
Four British cavalry from the Seven Years' War. From left to right, an officer (same casting Obee painted and posted in my "Army of Frederick the Great thread), two Dragoon Guard troopers (identified by the half-lapels), and a dragoon (no lapels). I'll paint the officer and the dragoon trooper as members of the King's (or Royal) Dragoons.
Some more Prussians, from left to right, another Jäger, a hussar loading his carbine, and an officer of the Ziethen-Hussars. I now have enough Ziethen hussars to display each of the squadron commanders, I think.
A "British infantry officer, 1750", which I will paint as an officer of the Hannoverian army, instead, Regiment Hardenberg. Through the personal union of the sovereign between the UK and the Electorate of Hannover, there was close cooperation between the armies, and the uniforms were virtually identical in cut.
I picked up this pocket book version of the Röchling book from Carl Hoegermeyer on Saturday. The illustrations have been reproduced everywhere, especially in Osprey, but now I have them all in color.
Prost!
