Most of the base colors are now complete for the 4th Swiss and now it's time to put in the details and highlights.
My infantry brigades for Volley and Bayonet usually have 8 figures mounted per stand. The 4th Swiss will have an officer, standard bearer, drummer, 3 fusiliers and 2 grenadiers to "steady" the line.
Interestingly, most French infantry and allies had red epaulettes for the grenadier units; the 4th Swiss appears to have had white epaulettes.
Most young boys (and some adventurous girls) play with Toy Soldiers; some never stop! I'm proud to say that I am one that never has stopped. Toy Soldiers, painting the figures, history and miniature wargaming is what this site is all about. May the God who gives encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
