Nice touch giving the hussars the captured flag.

Yep. That's very coolio

Some more SYW. All the Austrian grenadiers (no flags ), 25% of their musketeers, and von Petrowski's uhlans, who look a bit smarter than the photograph shews.

Kalnein musketeers, and the amazing 5th (von Bayreuth) dragoons. At Hohenfriedburg they took 67 (count 'em!) Austrian and Saxon standards. I don't care who complains that doing Prussians and Austrians is a SYW cliche!

My better half set up the shot, which explains why the grenadiers are lagging behind the musketeers. This is four battalions, all German; there will be three more German and three more foreign (Hungarian and Italian) battalions eventually, with eleven for the Prussians (one being Freikorps, who don't really count).

TBH I have always preferred the eastern to the western theatre. My next army will be the Russians.

Russkies are tough and have superb artillery, but their hussar uniforms don't look as good, imffho.

.....but there is so much red - a real red army.

Very cool!

Very nice I look forward to following the progress of this project

So do I! My work week is so inhuman that I'm painting verrrrrrry slowly.

Prussian regular dragoons are done; now for another brave session on the production line turning out three new units of Prussian musketeers.

Austrian regular dragoons done. There abide yet the following to be painted:
Prussians - two units cuirassiers, 1 unit grenadier dragoons, 2 units regular musketeers, 1 unit Freikorps musketeers, camp.
Austrians - three units cuirassiers, 6 units musketeers, camp.

Pardon my ignorance, but what are grenadier dragoons?  And why are so many of the musketeers camp?

Mollinary

Dragoons in bearskin caps. I daresay the point was that since they'd recently been infantry, they might as well keep a few reminders. Not much used by the Prussians, but there was one unit.
As for their lack of butchness, in an age where the officers used curlers and a man was very likely to wear make-up....

A man's not properly dressed without lace, ruffles, make up and some silks and brocade!

Don't get distracted, FK, keep going!

Romanian infantry officers in WWI abjured from wearing eye liner 

The horror! Truly a most terrible conflict. Next you'll tell me someone on the Western Front was seen loosening their tie!

The Prussian army is painted and based. Still some number of Austrians to go, but they're a bit faster, thanks to the miracle of white aerosol spray.

Photos please.
