Most impressive indeed. Now roll on the Prussians !

Weren't some of these units shown on the now defunct Steve Dean forum ? I think the Austrians in red small clothes were painted by Steve himself, while quite a few of the other regiments were done by Carl, a.k.a Raven. Or am I mistaken ?

No, you are correct. Steve went mad with all the white (the pre1757 coloured breeches were a health and safety concession on my part).  Carl Robson did quite a few, though the vast majority are through Letihen studios.

And as for the Prussians (again mostly done by carl), the photos have disappeared! I suspect Camp Freddy's paranoia strikes again!
