Haven't seen the magazine you mention but it sounds interesting, if there are any good articles on the SYW in particular I'd love to read an example. I have some great SYW uniform plates from Kannick's uniform book, which I'd be happy to e-mail. <br />Get in touch on: sorenralph@gmail.comBlack Powderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04811405795071310375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-11416357503062465932014-12-23T07:10:22.867-08:002014-12-23T07:10:22.867-08:00Monty!

Any darker on the 15s and it looks almost black. In the photo with flash, the coat looks more blue than it does on the gaming table. I use primarily Delta Ceramcoat and that line has a Prussian Blue that is very dark to my eye. I use it but prefer the Navy for the 15mm SYW Prussians.<br /><br />My 28mm AWI Hessians sport a Navy Blue coat. I have unpainted Fife & Drum Prussians. Perhaps, I should try one coat in each color?<br /><br />Happy holidays to you, Michael!Jonathan Freitaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862373894196924886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-21440318989198462042014-12-22T14:04:27.119-08:002014-12-22T14:04:27.119-08:00My dear sir, you are one of the most prolific and ...My dear sir, you are one of the most prolific and talented chaps I know in the hobby. I quite like this regiment, and expect it will acquit itself well.<br />I am going to start some Foundry 28mm Prussians in the new year - what colour do you use for the blue coats? The Prussian blue mystifies me, not really sure what to call it.<br />Again, very fine work.

Like you, my SYW interest was sparked about 40 years ago in a series of articles, battle reports, etc., in Wargamer's Digest from the mid-1970s. I remember vividly the discussions of Frederick's oblique maneuvers ans the illustrations of Prussian hussar "flower pot" headgear.<br /><br />Did you have access to this US publication in Sweden?<br /><br />I still have those magazines!Jonathan Freitaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862373894196924886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-44918996626033088802014-12-22T12:55:07.713-08:002014-12-22T12:55:07.713-08:00Great looking Prussians, Jonathan.

The sheer size of the unit is just impressive, and like Phil said, the color scheme works very well with the grenadiers creating a spark in the unit.
