1632 BATTLE OF LUTZEN - COLOURS OF THE YELLOW BRIGADE

 I fund very challenging to find out the colours of the Yellow Brigade at the Battle of Lutzen. In my previous post I published one template, but now I want to increase them and so I decided to dedicate one post just for colours.

The template is taken from Berliner Zinnfiguren that I modified. (I will make a post also for this)

The Yellow Regiment had 16 Companies, hence I have to do 16 flags (one already done).

My source is this drawing:  

                     

I prepared then the second example for the Pikemen

(last flag on the top right)

Here another from the second top left

I did notice that I did not draw for these standard bearers any sash (blue for Swesen); so I provided new templates

I also prepared other templates, with some more colours: some directly copied, some with variation on the theme.

In the following case, I prepared one colour as parallel to one of the Blue Brigade

1632 BATTLE OF LUTZEN - YELLOW BRIGADE (MUSQUETEERS)

 I know I should stay on my project, but it is stronger than me to move from one historical period to another. So while I am still trying to finish the 3rd Battle of Ramla, I had the temptation to drift towards the Battle of Lutzen in 1632. In my previous post I publishe the pikemen; this time I drew the musketiers of that Brigade, with some interesting variations with the headgear and the coulours in general.

After this publishing them on TMP, I was suggested to avoid red stockings, used only by Imperialist troops.

So I decided to remake and to fix also the coat (that for the Swedish was a little longer), I reduced the trousers, making again fitter and more modern, added some cartouches hanging down from a new designed belt (and erased the sword to make it easier to trim later on)
