Evening all, thinking of doing some SYW British and Hanovarian. Are there drummers etc in all the packs and what difference is there between the British and Hanovarians.
Cheers Al
Can't speak for the Hanoverians but the British come with drummers, sergeants and officers (pipers or flutes in Highland / Grenadier)
Also check the 'generic standard bearer pack' - much better than the ones in the general packs IMO
See mine here:

They are terrific Zippee.
Thanks for that Zippee, those are really nice. I think I will order a few packs. :) Do the Horse Grenadeirs have mitre caps as I want to do the 2nd Dragoons.
Cheers Al.

Sorry no idea haven't seen them
oh well, ordered some anyway :D
yes, they do
Thanks Matt, have you painted any ?. Would really like to see those if you have.
Cheers Al.
alas not yet (not unlike a lot of other things :'()
nice sculpts though, shame only one pose.
Shame I was looking for some inspiration and tips on how to tackle the mitre caps. :-\
Cheers Al
A little white Hanoverian horse on the red cartouche over the forehead? I applaud your ambition, sir.

It is doable - albeit stylised

Found a couple I'd already started. I'll paint one up next couple of days, I originally intended them to be Scot's Greys
That's great, I look forward to seeing this.
Cheers Al.

Lovely grey horse as well ;)
Marvellous Matt! :D
Just a bit good.! ;)
Gorgeous work, Matt. :-bd

Cheers Matt, that's fantastic painting. I really love the horse. 8)
cheers guys.
Ali, you'll see when you get them, but I found its best to bend the musket out of the way and do that last so you can get in at the mitre. Also the mitre is a bit small on this model (about 3/4 the size of the infantry ones) and the 2nd dragoons mitre pattern is v.complex. I'm still unsure how to tackle it when I get around to painting a few stands of these.
Look forward to seeing yours when you get around to them.
Matt
Now that is just showing off! :-bd :-bd :-bd :-bd

I did NOT think this was
THAT sort of forum ! :o :o
Cheers - Shocked of Wales. X_X ;)
Zippee and Matt. Great work! =P~
I must say that over the years the standard of painting for 10mm has really come on. =D>
Quite relieved I don't know how to post pics of my own collection painted many years ago when my eyesight was even better than what it is now! (:|
Ali, have many happy hours of wargaming the SYW - oh, wait a minute, you don't wargame much do you? Anyhoo, looking forward to seeing your work. Cheers.

Gosh to be included in such illustrious company!
Bungle's stuff is not so good and George's is bloody terrible.
Thanks for the tips Matt, hope to get some painting in over the Christmas break. Thinking about painting some as Hanovarians, got to do a bit more research on the uniform front. Once again cool painting 8)
Cheers Al.
Lovely work, very nice indeed. I have a small collection of 15mm SYW but this really makes me want to junk them and start in 10mm.

That is not the derivation of the name. . .
Wearing lace up jeans in the dim and distant psychedelic past has more to do with it . . .
Thanks for that Mr.Geoffrey.
