The 2nd Battalion Grenadier Regiment von Block

This is the second combined Grenadier Regiment formed from the companies from the Infantry Regiments Prinz Karl, von Donop, von Trumbach and Wutingau. To make the differentiations a bit more clearer and enjoyable, than lapels and different coloured pom-poms, I played again with the colur and the "hue" of the small clothes. The miniatures, again, are Perry.
I never thought I could get bogged down by this Hessian Grenadier painting marathon that heavily, but it took a while.
Well, two down, one to go (the 3rd Battalion Grenadier Regiment von Minnigerode*).

*the 4th Gren. Batt. von Koehler will be cancelled, because of a) it served mostly just as garrison and b) I might be mad, but not that mad (i.e. Hessian).
