Hi folks!
I was in the Swedish Army Museum in Stockholm earlier this week and took some photos of various stuff. There are a gun and crew and some Russian infantry of the Finnish-Russo war. Also there is the complete uniform of a Swedish Moerner Hussar there.
IF you check out my flickr you will see more photos of uniforms and stuff from the museum.
I really enjoyed the exhibitions, in particular since they had one on wargaming:) Cheers all!

Thanks for posting. The wargame board reminds me of the new Perry's Travel Battle in its general form. Very interesting to see some early Kreigspielers. |

I love the "mud" on the wheels of the gun. |

Both sides jackets are very dark in color, interesting. Thanks for posting! |

Must have been too cool to see in person. |

First picture is a great example of "hollow" on a gun carriage, the way the wheels toe in to make the spokes perpendicular to the ground. |

It's a great museum! Did you get any pictures in the trophy Room? |

No, I should have come to think of it..I was very surprised at how faded most of the flags and banners were! Much more so than the ones I saw in Paris army museum.
I must recommend to spend an afternoon at the museum if in Stockholm! |

Nice pix--thanks for sharing! The Russian tunic looks like a cavalry ensign's, but I haven't been able to track it down. The fabric and color seem very consistent with other period samples--yep, pretty dark.  |

Nice, theblue is very dark on the Swedish uniforms, almost black. |
| Dr Jeckyll | 19 Mar 2017 4:06 a.m. PST |
I agree, they were very dark indeed.the photo actually makes them look a little lighter than they really were.
If we stayed true to the actual colors of uniforms, most of the minis would look just the same, almost black yes. |
| Gunner Dunbar | 20 Mar 2017 4:20 a.m. PST |
Yes, but when/if I get to paint them I would have to lighten the blue a little, or it won't look right. |
