Russian Napoleonic Brigade Generals

A mixture of Russian Brigade Generals.

Essex Russian Generals

AB Russian General and Mounted Officer and a Russian Jaeger taking a quick nap.

AB Russian General and Mounted Officer. The Russian General is from the Prussian staff set. I think I added the frills to his epaulettes.

Essex Russian Generals. I think the fat guy was discontinued. I’ve had him around 30 years. He had a spruce up in this new round of painting.

AB Russian General and another modified officer from the Prussian staff set. I think this one had his fur saddle smoothed over so he looked less like a Russian General. The Russian General also had his sword replaced by a paper clip. As the paper clip is mightier than an AB sword pointing up in the air like that.

AB Russian General and Officer. The Officer donated his head to another project. He has now become a mail man dressed as a dragoon. Maybe a letter calling for less hat waving and more action ?

Made a vignette command stand. The horse was originally a French Dragoons horse and the casualty is from the early Russian casualty set. Adds a bit of interest, I guess.

General Kutuzov Command Stand

All the figures are purchased from Boki including the horses. These are really great figures, they are in scale with AB but I did not try mixing them on this stand. The horses are also from Boki, which I was not so sure about to begin with compared to AB. But once painted I have been pretty happy.

The stand might be a little rammed full of people for some tastes but I wanted it to look really full like the paintings you see of the generals overlooking the battlefield. Plus the finished stand weighs a ton. It feels really solid and could be useful for holding down taupaulins on windy days or even gazebos.

Napoleonic French Cantinier Wagon

I have my own little Monsier Thénardier on this stand.

Just completed a French Cantinier Wagon. All the figures plus the Wagon are from Blue Moon (They supply some great extras).

The buildings are scratch built in the background (apart from the timbered one right at the back, Supreme Littleness). But you probably didn’t need me to tell you the front lot are scratch built.

 This set had been rattling around for over a year but probably took only an hour and a half to complete. I should maybe build him his own tavern let him be the master of the house. But, nothing gets you nothing, everything has a got a little price....
