28mm Front Rank Seven Years War Russian dragoons. These chaps have been camped on the painting desk for a few weeks now. Hoping to have them done by early next week.
Cheers and thanks for looking.
Blessings to your brushes,

Tamsnin, you're never a bad influence, just a good example. I've been doing SYW Russians for quite a while, though just in a less sensible scale. I think your 15s will look better than my big boys when they're done.
Really great looking guy s you have there.i have always fancied pitting Russians against Austrians in that wee window of conflict that occurred in the syw.btw what rules r u thinking off? Alan
Hey Alan! Nice to see milord Duke here. That would be an interesting mixup. All my painted opponents for my Russians are currently Turks, though I do have a regiment of Prussian infantry in the queue and am thinking of making Prussia my next SYW army. The rules I like currently for SYW - I guess I'm a bit of a Sam Mustafa fanboy. I have used Tood Kirschner's Age of Reason from days of yore. I've played Black Powder a few times but for some reason it leaves me a little cold.
Cheers chaps. You're right, Brummie, another few hours of detailing and they should be good to go. The trouble with 28mm figures is that I get a bit perfectionistic about them, but who else am I trying to please but myself? :)
Cheers, Dai. I reckon that's why we visit other folks blogs regularly, because what they do impresses us, inspires us, and yes, pleases us. You're a good chap. :)
I do hope I haven't been a bad influence on you with my SYW Russians.
ReplyDeleteThey're looking good so far Padre :)

These look promising...I look forward seeing them finished.
ReplyDeleteThank you sir, and welcome to my blog, I noticed you just started following. I'm honoured.
DeleteGosh, look at those splendid chaps!
ReplyDeleteLooking good and by the pic not much left to do to get them completed!
