While I was recovering from surgery, I had the opportunity to focus on painting. I must admit that two weeks helped me significantly reduce my backlog of unpainted miniatures. I decided to paint everything I had for my Saxons from the Seven Years' War. First, I'll share my work on the cavalry. I painted two units, and all the miniatures are from Eureka Miniatures, which are a pleasure to paint. As usual, the bases are from Warbases.
I started by working on the guard units, beginning with Graf Rutowski's Light Dragoons. I used a banner from a set I purchased previously from Frédéric Aubert. However, if you're considering using the banner from Kronoskaf for your units, I advise against it. That banner is incorrect because it features the coat of arms of the Vasa dynasty, which ruled the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth from 1587 to 1668. Therefore, it would not have been used on Saxon banners.
The next unit I painted is the Garde du Korps. I chose to depict it in the colours it would have worn on the battlefield, complete with a collar and cuirass. The flag is again sourced from Frédéric Aubert. In this instance, I decided to paint a drummer with kettledrums. I struggled to find a suitable design for the drum apron, so I opted for a design used by the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth Army at that time. The initials "AR" were featured on that apron, so I incorporated the same design into my own.
My cavalry currently consists of four units: cuirassiers, dragoons, and two Uhlan regiments. Next, I will show you the infantry, which includes two musketeer units and one grenadier unit. For now, they need to dry completely before I apply the final varnish and flags. Once that's done, they will be ready for presentation. I'm also back at the club today, so I will have a game report up soon.
