Cossacks !

 I have been having a Cossack blitz. I had a number of stalled projects:

1. Totentanz Cossacks half way painted  (the sheer figure size was making basing a nightmare and made me give up)

2. Boki Leib Cossacks (have been primed for some time but lacked the Black Sea Sotnya). 

3. Essex Cossacks that were painted as irregular Cossacks 20 odd years ago (now the Totentanz will be irregular and make the Essex lot look like hobbits)!

4. Fighting 15’s Ozil Cossacks need painting.

5. AB Cossacks do not make a full unit and need lances replaced.

6. Eureka Cossacks do not make a full unit and need lances replaced.

It’s a lot to do. But the Totentanz are completed. The Boki Cossacks only have the BSS to finish. Half of the fighting 15’s are done and the Essex are repainted as Generic Don type Cossacks. 

I will get them photographed and posted soon.

 Finished the chaps in the felt hats ! I was in a bit of a twis over the basing of this unit. It should four bases with a total of 24 figures (working at 1:20 it gives a unit at 480). But the unit would have a very small frontage. So I am basing on only 3 bases.
