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. 

1st battalion Pskov Regiment. Perry plastic infantry with Old Glory mounted Colonels

With the 3rd battalion in the rear.

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

Thanks for looking.

28mm Russian Napoleonic update.

Just a brief update on the Russian project as a diversion from the battle reports.

I have chosen the 5th Division of 1st Corps 1813 at the battle of Dresden.
C-in-C MEZENTZOV

Brigade Lukov-      Perm Regiment       2 x 32 figures

                              Mohilev Regiment 2 x 32 figures

                 23rd Jager   2 x 32 figures

Brigade Vlassov-Kalouga Regiment 2 x 32 figures

                           Sievesk Regiment 2 x 32 figures
Div artillery 1- 12lbr Position battery
Div artillery  -  Light 6lbr
Attached cavalry- Grodno Hussars  24 figures

The first unit will be the Perm regiment.

1.5 Battalions painted

The first 2 6lbr foot guns

Figures for the second battalions, half the Grenadiers will be for the first as i have decided to split the flank company base in two so that the unit will look symetrical with the command base in the middle.

I get my flags from GMB but they do not appear to do flags for the Sievesk Regiment. I'll probably email Graham to what he can suggest.

I will do shoulder straps and pom poms when both battalions are based.

I will wait until the Border Reiver show to pick up the mounted commander pack from Dave Thomas.

These are all Perry plastics.

This has taken a back seat in the last few days as i have been painting up my British command figures for the 5th Division 1813. Pictures of those will be along next.

Cheers

Mick
