Hi all,

It's now or never: Jim Purky (der alte Fritz) is working on Prussian troops for the Pomeranian Campaign. Of course, they will need an adversary. This would be the best moment for a Swedish range by Minden Miniatures!

I had the urge (!) to make me a 28mm Swedish SYW army, and so I started converting the Minden Hanoverian Horse to Swedish Horse. I "cleaned up" the tricornes, "closed up" the coats, shaved off the moustaches, no hard task really.

For the blue Hussars, Prussian Hussars will do perfectly.

But now: there's no infantry, no artillery and no artillery crew, infantry and artillery crew at least share the same uniform. Prussian infantry with Swedish cuffs has their coats too wide open, Russian artillery crew's coats are much too short.

So please, please Minden: make a Swedish range!!!

I would even be ready to participate in an initial funding!

What do others think?

Cheers,
Peter

I want to add that this is neither an announcement nor any kind of inside information – I'm just wishing this to happen!

Cheers,
Peter

@jurgenation: I think you are right – I will ask Jim to sell me some of his light horses…

Do you have any pics of, or a link to, your Swedes?
