Here's a picture illustrating my (S-L-O-W) progress with the second company of Stollen's Leib (Grand Duchess Sonja's Own) Grenadiers. You can see I'm doing things a bit differently this time, altering the painting process to keep it interesting basically. This evening, I'll do the white gaiters and, if that goes reasonably quickly, and time allows, the red breeches. Still lots to do, but I like the way these fine fellows are shaping up along side the completed 1st company that's standing in formation just off camera, to the left here. Until tonight then!

YEAH! That Regiment will make quite the sartorial statement by the time you're done with them. I particularly liked Bugler "Little Joe" Cartright's horse.

I've read that the unfashionability of the pinto marking in Europe led to its export at a higher than usual rate to the colonies, accounting for its overrepresentation in America and essential breeding out of the phenotype in modern thoroughbreds.
Good to know that the cavalry of Stollen are not so susceptible to the whims of fickle fashion.

those hussars are starting to look good, I'm sure they'll be another fab unit for your collection
happy painting
