Saxony Soldiers VI

My fourth completed Saxon infantry regiment of the Great Northern War is Martinière’s Grenadier Regiment.

The Martinière’s Regiment is one of two all-grenadier formations I’m creating which together allow me to make maximum use of the two grenadier poses in Mars Saxon Infantry box. There are sixteen figures in total for this regiment which includes 9 grenadiers, 1 NCO, 3 officers, 1 flag-bearing ensign and 2 musicians (a fifer and a drummer).

The musicians:

I particularly like the blue stockings of this regiment but I painted the musicians with white leggings to provide for a little extra distinction for them. And then I got carried away and accidentally painted one of the officers with white stockings too. Never mind, blame uniform shortages in the stores.

Two more infantry regiments to go, one of which is well advanced already and I’m ploughing resolutely on with the final one too!
