    ;) Sometimes the companys fall over and over and over again on the same personality... Diversity people, I know Napoleon is money, but there are(were) other guys... that can be more challenging to work on, than napoleon.

    Americans maybe don't like him much... but I'm sure there are enough british modelers, in order to make a profit from such figure ;)

    Hi to all on PF ,

    Great subject for sure and the Hessians had some great uniforms ..this figure is crying out to be put on the high ground of a diorama ...leading his men on ...inspiring ...and all those white uniforms as well !!!


    Great references already posted the Ospreys are good , the attachments from Edorta are I believe from a great series of books :
    An illustrated Encyclopedia of Uniforms of the AWI by Digby Smith
    all have great illustrations in them , they also cover the Roman world, Napoleonic(of course!!) , 19th Century Wars(Crimean and the small wars etc) , WW1

    Lots of great references and well worth adding to the library (I get mine from Amazon ..lot cheaper !!!)

    Right napoleonpeart, I forgot to mention the title of the book. Aside of the Osprey´s books there´s another book with much plates about AWI;

    Military Uniforms in America, The Era of The American Revolution 1755-1795

    Other of my favourite books about this period is: Uniforms of the American Revolution, by John Mollo and illustrated by Malcom MacGregor.

    And this colection is very good also:

    Uniforms of the American Revolution 1775-1783, Volume 1 and 2. The illustrations are clip art but very useful because they give front and rear view.

    Considering that Frank Miniatures is from Germany, as brancaleone said, surely they will orient their production to Hesse, Prussia, Brunswick etc.
    This period is one of my favourites for the beauty, variety and richness of the uniforms, besides much of them allow different painting options, based on regiments, freikorps and territories, all of them in the prussian style.

    Here. Here! So many options. So many opportunities. I'd like to see a Prussian Cuirassier or von Seydlitz if you wanted to do a personality. But agree with Eduardo, you could spend a lifetime exploring the SYW in all it's splendor.

    I forgot to remark that the French Uniform of 1779 in generic form could be used towards later periods, practically did not change in shape until the eralies 1800's , so there are a lot of possibilities in cfreating French troops.
    Few of the German korps are not too far from this uniforms, in fact, with the sweeping reforms in the French Army after the disastrous 7 YW the minister of the Army used those prussian uniforms as an inspiration to change the old french battle dress.

    Guys..
    I just have you to say thanks to all of you . For the all the comments, suggestions and for plates posted ( immediately saved ), special Thanks to Eduardo. wich did a great service to everyone . The 18th century it's absolutely one of my favourite period .. And I can promise you i will keep working on figures from this range . At the moment, i'm planning a couple of 54 mm from my company as well ( OFF Miniatures ) besides the 75 scale will be released from Frank .
    Thank you all ..
    Ciao !
