Grenadier Guard of Hanover, Borch Regiment, Minden 1759

Pegaso Models presents this 75mm Grenadier Guard Hanover miniature representing a Guard Grenadier of the Borch Regiment at the Battle of Minden, 1759, during the Seven Years War. Cast in high quality resin, musket carried at the slope while he turns his head toward the enemy line, capturing the disciplined confidence of Hanoverian infantry fighting alongside British, Prussian and allied contingents. The distinctive grenadier cap, red coat, dark blue lapels and cuffs, cream smallclothes and high gaiters create strong colour blocks that read clearly from a distance and invite rich shading and highlighting.

Crisp detailing on lace, buttons, belts and equipment lets painters push contrast on leather, metals and wood grain without losing historical credibility. The long musket and slung strap naturally guide the viewer’s eye across the composition, while the stance is open enough to fit into dioramas featuring British and Hanoverian units drawn up before the allied advance at Minden. Clean resin casting also supports advanced techniques such as non metallic metals, textured fabrics and subtle weathering from campaign service.

Designed for intermediate and expert hobbyists, this Grenadier Guard Hanover miniature arrives unassembled and unpainted and fits seamlessly into the broader Pegaso historical range at https://www.pegasoworld.com/pegaso/ and the Seven Years War themed Europe 75mm category at https://www.pegasoworld.com/product-category/pegaso-shop/pegaso-europe/pegaso-europe-75mm/.
