On the Paint Desk

Not my paint desk but that of David J's.

At last Loudon's Grenadiers are underway.

The shade of green for their coats was the most important factor, no sources are alike. Looking at the SYW Website, Osprey and Mollo (Blanford) none are the same green. I did not want a green similar to that of my Russians nor a washed out green which was probably the most realistic but a more flamboyant green like the artwork in Mollo.

So DJ painted a single gunner first and I think the colour is perfect, in fact very striking.

Chaos

That is my description of this cavalry engagement.

The Austro/Saxons have 3 squadrons retreating and the Prussians 2.

The Clash of Sabers

Now some dice throwing.

Inspirational Artwork

The other afternoon I took a few of the old Tradition magazines into the garden to browse through and I was taken by the lovely artwork in the first photograph. Not so much the rider but the horse.

So I had a go at appropriate look alike. Not perfect but good enough.

The rider is not complete as I am not sure what nation.....so no collar or lapels.....
