A Slight Change in Painting Plan for Those 60+ Huzzah Miniatures. . . .

An example of the uniform worn by Wutemburg's Garde zu Fuss during the mid-18th Century.

Ok, ok. Several of you Stollen regulars have suggested that I give that unit of Huzzah figures a slightly more interesting uniform than just uniform dark blue. And one of you suggeted Wurtemburg Garde Grenadiers, which I liked, and which also sparked my curiosity a bit. So, I did some digging around on the web and found this example of another Wurtemburg uniform -- the Garde zu Fuss -- from the mid-18th Century. No mitre caps here, but the colors of everything else are similar to the Wurtemburg grenadiers that were originally proposed, so this uniform (pictured above) should work fine for my purposes.

Naturally, it will take a bit longer to paint everything, but that just means that the figures will look much snazzier on the tabletop once everything is finished. Now, does anyone have any information on the standard(s) carried by Wurtemburg's Garde zu Fuss? Barring that, I have a more typical Prussian/Hessian idea in mind for a totally fabricated, fictitious standard. But enough chit chat here. I've got a couple of Holger Eriksson cannon to finish painting and then varnish!
