Grenadier Guard of Hanover, Borch Regiment, Minden 1759
This 75mm historical miniature from Pegaso Models depicts a Grenadier Guard of the Borch Regiment at the Battle of Minden (1759) during the Seven Years’ War.
The figure is shown advancing with musket sloped, head turned toward the enemy line—a restrained, disciplined pose that captures the confidence of Hanoverian infantry fighting alongside British and allied forces. It’s dynamic without being theatrical, making it ideal for both display painting and integrated dioramas.
The uniform provides strong, readable color blocks: the distinctive grenadier cap, red coat with dark blue lapels and cuffs, cream smallclothes, and high gaiters. These elements lend themselves especially well to controlled contrast, clean highlights, and historically accurate color modulation.
Crisp sculpted detail across lace, buttons, belts, and equipment supports advanced painting techniques such as non-metallic metal, realistic leather and wood textures, and subtle campaign weathering. The long musket and sling naturally guide the eye through the composition, giving the figure a clear visual flow.
Cast in high-quality resin with clean detailing.
Supplied unassembled and unpainted.
Recommended for intermediate to advanced painters.
A strong choice for competition painting or for building a cohesive Seven Years’ War display.
