Title: Army of the blue king
Post by: Mike G on April 30, 2017, 09:07:08 PM

Does anyone have hoffmanns uniform plates or know where they can be found? Working on a little vignette and can't for the life of me locate them. Thanks!

Nice. A bunch of grenadiers, some line infantry, a sergeant and a mounted officer. Was going to do the sergeant in yellow based on an eBay image but now not sure

Ok came up with a couple in the Men At Arms Series. #309  Louis XIV Army and  Marlborough's Army 1702-1711. The Lace Wars by Funcken  two volumes.  Also in the late 50s early 60s Bob Bard had a group of articles about the British Army in Marlborough's Wars. I have that but its packed away so it might take some time to dig it out ::)  Willie
