These figures were painted in the very early 90’s. I have a feeling they were bought when Russian 15mm Essex figures were a new range. I seem to remember that I was really reaching a point of speed painting with them. I had some technique where I would spray the figures with a Matt car spray. I woul then paint them un mounted. Meaning each one would be lain down side by side on some kitchen roll. Then each would be picked up and painted. When there was a simple brush stroke I would leave them all on the paper towel and just dab them in record speed with no handling at all. The result was okay. Fast forward 30 years and In the last few months I have taken them off their old bases. Added a few more dabs of paint and some flags from GMB. Although I didn’t have much clue what I was painting 30 years ago, I can now identify them as the Lithuanian and Pavlov Guard regiments. The Pavlov flag said on the GMB site it was good up to 1814. Please if anyone disagrees don’t spoil it for me.
