Saxon Infantry Captain, Prinz Xavier Regiment, Minden 1759

This 75mm historical miniature from Pegaso Models depicts a Saxon infantry captain of the Prinz Xavier Regiment at the Battle of Minden (1759) during the Seven Years’ War.

The officer is shown in a composed yet alert stance, one hand resting on his spontoon while the other grips his sword. The pose strikes a deliberate balance between authority and tension—ideal for conveying command presence without exaggerated motion. It works equally well as a standalone display piece or as part of a command vignette.

The uniform offers a refined but striking palette: a white coat with pale blue cuffs, collar, and turnbacks, paired with a blue waistcoat, patterned sash, and high gaiters. These elements naturally guide the viewer’s eye through the figure and provide excellent opportunities for smooth transitions, controlled contrast, and nuanced fabric treatment.

Crisp sculpting across folds, lace, buttons, and facial features supports advanced techniques such as subtle light placement, freehand detailing, and restrained campaign weathering while maintaining historical accuracy. At 75mm scale, the figure is large enough for competition-level work yet compact enough to sit comfortably alongside other Pegaso Models subjects from the Seven Years’ War and 18th-century Europe ranges.

Cast in high-quality resin with clean, sharp detail.

Supplied unassembled and unpainted.
Recommended for intermediate to advanced painters.

An excellent choice for painters seeking a characterful command figure—whether for competition, display, or a refined Seven Years’ War scene.
