By then I am hoping that Tsuba miniatures will have the Japanese cavalry ready for purchase, and I can finish the Russo-Japanese arimies.

First Crimean Russian Infantry Completed
On Christmas Eve I completed the first of my Crimean Russians. Seventy two figures that make up the Azov Regiment. I must say that Russians are remarkably easy to paint, since the are all in greatcoat, but they become a bit monotonous when there are 72 to paint. The next purchase will be the first two battlions of the next Russian regiment, as well as a battalion of French line infantry and one of chasseurs to get some variety. Then the order after that will complete both the Russian and French line regiments.

Geeze Mark, you put me to shame.
ReplyDeleteIt's taken me over a month to paint 6 AWI British Legion Dragoons!
I admired your work ethic.
Thanks Nick. I have just calculated what I have painted or created during the year - quite astonishing really. I will publish a full tally in a week.
ReplyDeleteLooking really good Mark. I agree that the greatcoats make the Russians the easiest units I've painted yet! Have a good Xmas break.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nate. What you can't see in tehe photos is the NCOs dressing the lines - a really nice set. I am looking forward to doing the French. In the meantime I am off until the 5th of January and making the best of the good weather to clean up the garden and garage.
DeleteBeautiful Russians. Greatcoats do make the painting faster and the addition of the stain or wash really makes them come to life.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jonathan. I have just finished the first two French units, plus the British and Russian High command. They look really great, but I haven't had the chance to photograph them yet. I will try to get these done and posted by the end of the week.
