Current project is a small group (3 guns, 12 crew) of Russian Guard Horse Artillery. It should probably still be larger but I cannot bring myself to cut up more figures for the headwear (still traumatised with the 12 I’ve done). The guns are AB for this unit which are a bit smaller than the Blue Moon guns I have been using. Unit came out okay, a bit of squeeze fitting them all on. The guy on the end with the ram rod looks like he is ether giving the end of the Unicorn gun a last minute polish or is trying to get the end shot off for a laugh.
When I painted my first Napoleonic's 25mm was 25mm and 15mm, well that was always liable to scale creep. I mean 15mm is pretty small. So maybe in this mixed up world 1815 didn't mark the end and perhaps we can imagine another 3 years of campaigning (okay another 3 years of needless suffering for the people of Europe, but hey, these are 15mm metal figures, they can take it).
