Generic 18th century Musketeer

[chrishanley]

Is there a 7 years’ War / Spanish Succession musketeer who is holding his musket vertically with just one hand.  I know I am being a fussy git but I don’t like the two handed march attack pose.  I know it is heresy but what I really need is a basic generic mid 18th century infantryman which I can produce in different colours for the different major armies. 
Many thanks,
Chris

All the WSS are essentially generic in 10mm. Would the sloped arms figure not do? Also uniforms changed between WSS and SYW and a generic figure would not suit both periods.

I do not do SYW, but in practice there are differences between the uniforms of different nationalties. Others with a greater knowledge of the 10mm models would perhaps give you more info.

The different nationalities in the SYW line do get at the details in equipment differences; if you know the period and look closely you will notice the differences.  There is a Prussian musketeer standing at attention with his musket in his left hand.

I know my proposal is really bad and for any purist of the period or otherwise sensitive soul I apologise but small differences in uniform details I can live with.  Do you know the product code for the Prussian Musketeer who is standing to attention as it sounds just what I need?

Probably SYP6 Tricorn foot marching musket left hand (I've not seen the figure)?   SYP12 is the equivalent grenadier.

I'm generally with you Chris (not getting too excited about 10mm exactitude) but the WSS uniforms were SO different to the SYW ones, are you sure it will work?

 I may paint all the details on the pea camouflage turn-backs but if he is holding a musket, standing to attention and wearing a tricorn helmet the Waffen SS Grenadier should be just fine

Waffen SS??

Yoke in poor taste on WSS ?

That's what I thought.

I must admit to a bit of a double take on the (mis)use of the acronym 

I'm quite happy to ignore minor variations myself (especially as my painting doesn't do justice to the figures anyway) but I do like being able to identify the key differences in styles.  However if one goes down the Spencer Smith 30mm approach of identical mid 18th century figures for imaginations etc that's fine.
