Title: AWI 28mm Hessian Musketeers & Fusiliers
Post by: Jemima Fawr on December 22, 2022, 12:40:43 AM: I painted these Hessian regiments sometime 2006-2008, but have only now got around to photographing them and sticking them on the blog:

What unit is that with the red flag, the fusiliers, please?

For the figures to still look good with a photo as large as the second one posted here speaks well of your efforts. A lot of otherwise good paint jobs would suffer with such a close view. I know mine would! :o

The fusilier regiment is the Lossberg Regiment. The flag is more scarlet/orange than red, but the combination of varnish and photo software has darkened it somewhat.

Post by: FifteensAway on December 25, 2022, 08:20:32 AM: Thanks for identifying the unit and the words about color. Had me wondering a bit.

GOP - yup, that works for me, more or less.

However, you are a very bad man, sir, very bad indeed. As evidence your ending photograph on your linked post. What if a small child were to see that? Scarred for life and you would be to blame. Very bad. Very bad indeed. Let us know if you end up with a lump of coal.

lol :D ;D
