Those are great sculpts, all the more remarkable for being 15mm. And the painting is fabulous! Great basing - it all looks more like a studio army used for the rule book photos. Very well done!

Those are some great 15mm minis and a wonderful paint job on them.

Do you have any swedish banners? I think the uniforms of sweden should be blue and yellow as the flag.

Hello,
thank you guys for your kindly comments. Im realy happy you like those, now i don't have time for paint job but i promise i will try to paint some more :p

As for the uniforms, well surely on parade they wear beautiful blue yellow uniforms.
However during war campaign they were normal clothes, in the late stage even clothes looted from civilians. Remember they fought far away from home and logistic (even Swedish) was very very poor.

Her you can se how Swedish army look like (more or less) at the beginning of campaign 1655 (movie-The Deluge 1974).

As for the banners on fromhold blog you can find some interesting information and pictures of original Swedish banners 1655-1660
