I painted the grenadiers for my small brigade of Piedmont-troops. No Germans and a project a bit crazy.
At the left Des Portes and at the right Baden.
I have to say that I like both uniforms and find the Piedmont-army colourfull and very nice.

Oh yes! He has a superb blog! It is good to visit it again, it has "a lot of bread", thank you! I had quoted his Piedmontese de Portes and their distinctive green facings in one previous post here. I think I had found some collective info about Piedmontese uniforms, but I don't remember where. By the way, I mention again that the Piedmontese have very beautiful flags! He has more Piedmontese posted in his blog WAS in Italy (8): General Cinzano organizes his troops nigbilpainter.blogspot.com/2015/06/was-in-italy-8-general-cinzano.htmlI'll start reading all his WAS in Italy (1-8) titles! |

They make an interesting change. I feel it is a pity that in the deal for supporting the drive for Italian unity the French took a chunk out of Piedmont.

Hi! I welcome your first Piedmont unit! A good start for your Piedmont army! Cheers! P.S. And they have beautiful flags, too! 
Philippe François baron de Gudenus Here, in another page at the same blog you already mentioned is the description of all his work, which is a unique source for French uniforms of the War of Polish Succession! miniaturasmilitaresalfonscanovas.blogspot.com/2013/03/manuscrit-de-gudenus-1735-coleccion.html The text is in French. His uniforms show troops operating under the orders of Marshal Coigny on the Rhein, the Main and the Neckar in 1735. He presents 83 different uniforms (if somebody starts from the page mentioned, looking at newer pages (Entrada más reciente), his work has a humoristic look. But it seems he was a good artist, when he served at the Sublime Porte in Turkey, he made this design: www.christies.com/lotfinder/Lot/gudenus-philippe-francois-baron-de-vue-de-5480368-details.aspx
Damnitz, thank you again, because you motivate me to search for interesting historical details!

De Portes finished.
I do like the colours.
Behind them is my regiment Baden-Durlach. I suppose that these are all of my Piedmont-troops.

A nice addition to your collection. Well done!
When do you schedule to give them the baptism of fire?

Today I finished to paint the regiment Sturler, Swiss in Dutch pay.
The Swiss had the reputation to be of the best troops of the Dutch army. Therefore I decided to let them charge. The figures are mostly from the Revell Austrians set as this regiment looked much the same on the famous Morier paintings.
For some reason the officer - originally from the Zvezda Russian artillery - has a bottle.
Most figure got a hat made by myself. Not really good looking, but perhaps crushed by heavy rain in the Low Countries.  |
