This is how I will paint the uniform for the Dalregimentet, even as this pictury probably are of a GNW soldier from Älvsbors regiment (no bayonetts for the swedes during the Scanian war.)
Here are a alternative Karpus, as mine are made of cut down grenadier caps
I think mine will be more like this one...
The first 19 minis to be painted, this will give me a force of about 170 points, that will be about the same that Sörens first batch of Snapphanare, you can see a greate pictures hof them at his blog.
This is starting to look like a great project...

ReplyDeleteI am sure they will look fantastic Michael!
ReplyDeleteI really like the red/blue uniform in the pic; should be a great unit!
ReplyDeleteLooks great!
ReplyDeleteThe colour-choice for your Dalregiment is spot on. Blue and Red always make for a great contrast.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your support my friends !
ReplyDeleteBy the time for the Scanian war each regiment had its own coloure of the uniform the Dalregimente had blue coats with red cuffs, after the Scanian war the cuffs was changed to yellow.
Best regards Michael
Great start, and I've come away learning something new (again!)
ReplyDeleteThe blue and red will look very striking. Nothing is better than painting something local to you
ReplyDeleteI can only agree with Monty, these posts are proving to be quite an education!
