The mounted
units now have uniforms and other items now covered.
The selection
of coat colour is based purely on the most frequently seen in period paintings
as the notion of national uniforms was still evolving. Most common coat colour
are the “iron grey” worn by most armies, followed by blue and red, most often
worn by royal or gentlemen regiments. I used two shades of blue for the German
States assisting the Imperial Austrians.
To add
variety, each pair with the same coat colour will have different coloured
shabraque and pistol housings. Further, the boots are painted either black or
brown and other leather items will have different shades of yellow brown or beige
adding more variation.
Next step is
the highlighting and some tidying up to do before I move on to the last step.
Cheers,
