Hi Wienand, Robert Hall confirms the Colonel is Ernst Detlof but I expect this is taken from the same source you mention below ('Het Staatsche Leger'). I have also checked his work on the two Mecklenburg states but this doesn't clarify the situation either. Different spellings don't help (Krassau / ...

This is also an excellent site (just use the links on the left hand side):

Beautiful work as always. I particularly like the variety of hats / coats / colours that gives this unit a different character.

Well done !

I expect this is a similar question as to how soldiers themselves are dressed and, regardless of reality, how you want to portray them. Do you prefer parade dress, with uniformity of horse colour and idealised uniforms, or the grubby reality of campaign dress. From a personal point of view, if I'm g...

I have a copy of the following pdfs which provide quite a bit of information: DANISH UNIFORMS, COLOURS AND STANDARDS 1675-1679 by Olaf Hasselager and Torstein Snorrason. DANISH UNIFORMS 1699-1712 by Torstein Snorrason. If you PM me at Phil(dash)Carrington(at)virginmedia(dot)com, I would be more than...

I understand that it attempts to cover Russia, Sweden, Denmark, Saxony, Prussia, Hanover, Holstein, Poland-Lithuania, Cossacks, Ottoman Turks, Moldavians, Wallachians & Tatars. I think it was always going to be a tall order to compress anything other than the most sketchy information about the armie...

These are superb and the basing is very well done. More please ! Having painted both 28mm and 10mm figures, I must admit that I now prefer the smaller scale. Saying that, the detail on those Van Dyck figures is quite terrifying and, if anything, puts me off a little bit ! Just wondered how difficult...

Superb figures and fantastic painting - really nice work. The basing is particularly nice and I like
the effort you have gone to with the background. Top quality.

Well done !

There is some information in the booklet "Danish Uniforms 1699 - 1712" written by Torstein Snorrason. I think this is still widely available on the web but I am happy to send a copy if this helps. I also have some scans taken from an article in Feb 88 Military Modelling (Marlborough's Danish Troops)...

Now that is very nice - great stuff.

Thank you for the heads up. This sounds promising but almost harks back to old school Osprey when they attempted to cover large and complex conflicts in a single volume. In this case, 48 pages to cover the armies of "Russia, Sweden, Denmark, Saxony, Prussia, Hanover, Holstein, Poland-Lithuania, Coss...

Thank you - I must admit that I have seen the book advertised and its on the wishlist.... Helion are now putting out so much stuff that I want to buy that the wishlist far outstrips affordability ! Going to have to revisit my strategy of relying on a lottery win... Really nice to see so many books c...

Thank you - much appreciated.

Yes please !
