Dark blue coat with dark blue lapels. Dark Blue Swedish cuffs. Orange waistcoat and breeches. Silver buttons. Red turn backs. Headgear was a small mitre (smaller than a fusilier mitre) with a silver plate and all clothwork (band and bag) orange. Pioneers and Pontonniers wore basically the same uniform. |

I did up a handful of figures as described above. Not sure what I'll do with them but by golly if I ever need Prussian pioneers, I've got them! |

Trying…
I didn't shorten the mitre caps, and took a standard bearer and gave him a pickax instead. Hope they help (and work). Tinypics has been giving me trouble of late. |

Stuart at Maverick Models has now produced flags for Pioneers, Pontooniers and Artillery. Front Rank do a nice standard bearer under SYP17 which I believe is very suitable for Pioneers and Pontooniers. |
