I would like to do some pike and shot of the 1660s….are there any suitable figures for these, hoping for 28mm.? Oops title should read 1660s |

The clothing looks very similar to the Dutch clothing of a slightly earlier period, so maybe Dutch of the late TYW would work: I don't anything about 28 mm figures for that period. |

The picture is not contempory, and is a picture romanticized in the 19th century, of the students in a corps of copenhagen. A small unit, and prone to unorder. :) The follwing picture of the crown ceremony of 1660, is contemporary.
link Here it a excerpt i discussion forum of 1/6 models. Scroll down to the middle, where you can see a unit.
link Any dutch model would probably do, since our knowledge is weak. What you see is probably the royal guard in yellow, queens guard in red, and ordinary regiment in white/grey. I would use north star 1672 range |
