Super stuff so far Bob. Remember a David Grieve foot figure from that period with a rose in the hat -don’t know whether that was something worn by regiments who served at Minden. What are your horticultural skills like?

Thank you all for the comments, the reds are from Vallejo red set with some scale 75 tube paint.
Neal yes Grieve did a figure from this period two if I remember correctly one was a grenadier in a mitre cap. There a a few regiment's to this day who wear the Minden rose on 1 Aug, my old regiment being one. It was because troops during or after the battle picked rose's and wore them in there hats..
Thank you all again
Regards
