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....

Napoleonic Russian Wagons

Okay, maybe enough with the wagons already, But, there is just something alluring about those Wagon packs. The way you frustrate yourself painting all the spokes. The fiddling around with the traces, superglue all over your fingertips, the boredom of painting the horses and harnesses. Just so they can make a brief non strategic appearance and I can imagine them ferrying potatoes from one side of the table to the other.

All the wagons are Blue Moon. The horse teams with outriders are also Blue Moon with the Kiwers cut down to caps. The two wagons with the cover are pulled by Eureka SYW horses. The seated drivers are Campaign Miniatures with their shakos cut down and a lump of milliput stuck on in a cap shape’ish.  I’m not sure if the Wagon covers should have been black. They look very bright in the photo and have whited out a bit. In reality they are not that bright but the camera is pretty bad identifying And doing a good job of contrast changes. Again runners and riders are in grey uniforms. I’m not 100% sure about the colour arrangement and unsure about the added red bands. But they needed a splash of colour. So please no one ruin it for me : )

Russian Napoleonic Apothecary Wagon

Once again the they guys in the grey suits and grey caps make an appearance. This time transporting the Russian Apothecary Wagon around. The Wagon is from Blue Moon, the driver is a converted Campaign Miniatures artillery rider. The horses are Eureka. Not sure if anyone sat on the Wagon itself. Probably not, but there was a sort of seat on it so why not?
