Hanoverian Engineers.


These figures have been awaiting painting for weeks and though I'm all fired up to start painting Medieval knights for ' Lion Rampant ' my guilty conscience got the better of me and so I thought I'd get them done first. I've been wanting to do some Engineers for my 40 mm SYW-ish armies for ages and  so I converted these artillery crewmen by adding shovels etc from plastic card and brass wire .


It took me a while to decide on a suitable uniform , but finally settled for the Hanoverian Engineers in their light blue coat and red cuffs - here seen busy plundering an ancient monument for artifacts to sell to antiquarians .  ( click on photos to enlarge )

  2. Agreed, and actually kind of pretty in a very military way.

  7. Very nice figures. The temple looks good too...could double as a folly in a landscape garden.
