I was asked to do some more Napoleonics, this time Russians. The owner will base and add his own flags.
tarted these 10.30 Friday night, did the assembly, base coats and ink washes by about 1.
Saturday started at 09:30, worked through until 2ish when I walked the dog for two hours, then did another hour tidying up.
Machine mode?
As usual, the owner will be basing these, ready to fight Leipzig at the weekend!

54 figures in this batch, 6 units of Russian Dragoons, including (closest) St Petersberg Dragoons which captured 4(!) Eagles during the Napoleonic Wars.
Three standards are real, the second one is Irkusk, which not only is a great territory name in Risk, but were also described as the WORST Russian dragoons as their horses were steppe ponies! Three are made up to the 1800 pattern.
Horses
I actually enjoyed painting the saddle cloths on these, I must be mad
Advance in single file!
