And why not. Red for the Saxons at this time as well; hence the original post title..! I will have to sculpt fur onto the grenadier caps for the Bavarians to keep them happy, but that's a small price to pay.<br /><br />Stokes - I'm not completely out of the game. Not yet. I am intending to keep a couple of projects on a slow simmer over the next couple of years, just to keep my hand in!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />GregBloggeratorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15501347647235993401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15312232.post-290864913695781312011-02-04T02:39:42.753+11:002011-02-04T02:39:42.753+11:00If the now 'historically accurate' medium-...If the now 'historically accurate' medium-dark blue alloted to (SYW) Bavarians looks too drab / gloomy for your taste (as it looks for me), build a <i><b>'Blauvarian'</b></i> army with infantry in the sky blue that was for long the interpretation of <i>Kornblume</i> blue...abdul666https://www.blogger.com/profile/16172686098173637906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15312232.post-21481459852496983852011-02-04T02:19:22.948+11:002011-02-04T02:19:22.948+11:00Hello there Greg,

I wasn't too impressed with the Charles XII gun when first I saw it in its unpainted state, but, as you note, cleaning it up and painting it improved things immeasurably. Do let us know how things progress with that pile of HE infantry. You are sorely tempting me with them!<br /><br />Best Regards,<br /><br />StokesWSTKS-FM Worldwidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14173042438761572040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15312232.post-30648340428111377062011-02-03T22:43:23.588+11:002011-02-03T22:43:23.588+11:00All very nice, Greg.
