NAPOLEONIC RUSSIANS UPDATE

I'm determined to get a Brigade of Russians finished asap. The intention is to move on and complete an Austrian Brigade to fight alongside the Russians. These pics show the 1st and 3rd battalions of the Pskov regiment with 2 foot artillery guns and my first ever limber!

I have another limber, 2 more guns and an ammunition wagon for these and the Moscow regiment is nearly painted. I will pick up some Hussars at Vapnartak on Sunday.

 The main issue with these figures is that the matt varnish has left them with a bit of a dusty appearance probably due to the temperature being a bit low during painting. This is easily fixed apparently by reapplying gloss varnish  but i'm going to wait and see if i like the dusty look!

Anyway here are the pics- 
The brigade as it is now.

Updated pictures with the Moscow regiment and the ammunition wagon will be up next week. 

Thanks for looking.
