I was digging out some ECW and Thirty Years War Minifigs (and others) figures to photograph and send to Clive Smithers for inclusion on his 'The Lone S Ranger' blog.
It struck me that I really liked the Thirty Years War figures and they brought back many memories so I thought I would add some pictures to the blog.
They are actually painted up to represent an ECW trained band.
In this case this is the fictitious Colchester trained band - which is where I lived when I painted it - years ago!
ECW - Colchester Trained Band
TYW 1s - Musketeer Advancing
TYW 2s - Pikeman Receiving
TYW 3s - Officer
TYW 6s - Halberdier
TYW My Drummer Conversion
TYW 5s - (actual)Drummer

ECWA 2s - Galloper/H1 -Horse
TYWC 1s - Reiter
My drummer conversion was made prior to the release of the TYW 5s - Drummer and I never every did see a TYW 4s - Standard Bearer.
My standard bearers are just Pikemen with 'old toothpaste tube' aluminum flags attached.
I also have a second of these regiments painted up as the fictitious 'Halstead' trained band!
