After the bloody Battle of Lund 1676 the Swedish King Charles XI said ”That day my Crown danced on the tip of Bielke’s Sword”, he referred to Colonel Nils Bielke and his Livregementet till Häst (Royal Cavalry Guard) that played a key role in the Swedish victory! #Scanianwar

Typical Monday morning - On the train wondering how King Christian V of Denmark really looked like? Also need to paint some more bases for the Danes at Lund 1676 - this week some infantry battalions. Early days #Scanianwar More about Christian here ...

Managed to get a few splashes of paint on some Danes this morning! Some interesting colour combos and very similar to some Swedish Regiments! A small sheaf of straw in the hats were worn by the Swedes to allow recognition during the Battle of Lund 1676 #scanianwar

New den for this week, first Danish regiment for Lund Completed (2 battalions) - Prince George’s Geworbne Regiment - 6mm Baccus #Scanianwar Yes, they received blue hat bands in May 1776 and I will probably repaint them later, but too relaxed for my OCD to kick in!
