Regiment Diesbach takes to the field

This weekend I managed to finish Swiss regiment Diesbach, one of the nicest uniforms and set of colours in the French army in my view. I have painted this as a seven base unit to represent a 2 btn regiment. The red tunics were enjoyable to paint and I am pleased with the result.

        The figure second from the left, front row is painted by Dave Jarvis, the rest by me. If to                      struggle to tell the difference, then my job is done !  Wonderful flags by Mark Allen.
          Found a stray dog in my metal box so I decided to give the NCO and unofficial mascot
