IR1a Von Scheither joins the stable

IR1a Von Scheither joins the stable

Today I completed this fine regiment which served Ferdinand so well.
They fought at Hastenbeck, Krefeld, Minden and Warburg.
The very attractive green facings make the unit stand out.
I still need to paint up a base of grenadiers, then a short break from Hanover before I work on IR3a Von Knesebeck whose black facings will be a nice contrast.
Meanwhile I fancy another conversion and I will attempt the image of the French cavalry officer with tricorne on sword which I posted recently. Also I have a French cavalry regiment needing completed, So lots to do.

    Very nice looking unit. Love the dark green. I may have to add this regiment to my armies. Front Rank figures?

    That is another lovely regiment, always think red and green work so well together.
