Presented here is the latest in the Russian Napoleonic grenadiers, the First Battalion, Lieb Grenadier Regiment.
The second battalion is almost formed, but the battalion command are not available due to a purchasing error - only one command set was ordered instead of two. The battalion command will not be joining the battalion now until early-March.
Also completed are a batch of mounted officers (left to right), a mounted divisional officer (in the cap, whose missing horse arrived with the last order) with a dragoon escort, a mounted brigadier for the grenadiers, and a single dragoon trooper who will serve as a courier.
The Leib Grenadiers look suitably impressive Mark, and the mounted officers likewise. I have copied your idea of using the extra mounted figures in the Perry boxes as couriers!
ReplyDeleteYes if you don’t make this couriers you wind up with a lot of regiments…that’s how I got six regiments of French cuirassiers…five boxes plus a command sprue made six regiments.
DeleteGreat work Mark, and the greatcoated officer really highlights the perfect choice of green you use for your Russians. I really hate purchasing mistakes. After having meticulously worked out the order to save on postage you either have to cop a hit just to get the handful of figures, or add another half dozen units to the project to justify the otherwise wasted expense.
ReplyDeleteLovely work once again Mark:).
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve.
DeleteGreat job. They look really sharp. 😀
ReplyDeleteThanks Stew. It was that simple blue standard that drew me to that unit.
ReplyDeleteA fine body of men Mark...
ReplyDeleteAll the best Aly
