The War of Spanish Succession... Holstein-Ploen Infantry Regiment

Greetings...


One more unit finished...Hurrah!


This is another of the units that I picked up on eBay...
As before all I needed to do was add a second standard bearer and do a bit of sprucing up...




Again I had no problem matching up the colours...


The Coat... Citadel... Administratum Grey.
The Facings... Citadel... Evil Sunz Scarlet.
The Belts... Foundry... Moss Light 29C


I painted out the eyes and re-did them in my own style and re-painted the buttons in a shinier silver
They were then given a coat of Aly's Brown Liquid and highlighted with the original shades.


I was very pleased to find out that Holstein-Ploen had grey coats and red facings... they have such a nice flag...








Yet another pleasing unit for this project...


The miniatures are as always Front Rank...

The paints are Citadel...

And Wargames Foundry

Bases from Warbases...

And last but not least Flags are from Maverick Models...

All the best  Aly

    Fine refitting and refurbishment, Aly! I really like the combination of grey coats and red stockings, small clothes, and cuffs. I have been very tempted by thoughts of a WSS project, myself, but I lean towards 10mm if I were to pull the trigger. BUT, I have too many projects already!

      Thank you Keith...
      I am trying to keep everything Front Rank... but I would quite like to add a Spanish unit to the collection collection... I may end up adding something from the Ebor range.

      All the best. Aly

    Lovely unit, but be careful now Aly. By my count that us two units in a month...you are in danger of completing this project before the butterfly effect kicks in.
