Uniform colours are very subjective and would be difficult to fix accurately from vegetable dyes or similar. Battle flags would not stay one colour in the sun either so I don't you should lose too much sleep of my choices.augsburgerobersthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07668623413869707906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8037582458537250032.post-65849242677127983072014-05-18T10:17:15.923-04:002014-05-18T10:17:15.923-04:00The painting job and the the miniatures are very i...The painting job and the the miniatures are very impressive indeed, BUT the blue is not the good one for them at the time of louis XIV. It should be lighter (cobalt blue lightly enlighted); As it is the blue is the color for the Louis XV army (at Fontenoy for exemple).<br />The blue of the regimental flag is too light.<br /><br />This is the first batallion since it have the white flag. The 3 others batallions should have two blue flags. (The regiment had 4 battalions on campaign which were brigaded with 2 batallions of the Swiss Guards). They were very, very good at this time. There decline (Gardes Fançaises not Swiss Guards which were very good to the very end in 1793) began at Malplaquet in 1709.Catinatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8037582458537250032.post-87267516509953373792014-05-07T18:01:29.953-04:002014-05-07T18:01:29.953-04:00These are fantastic!

Really makes for an impressive unit, and a natural center piece of the French battle line!
