First, a WIP of my latest big project, a 36 figure Russian regiment in waistcoats from the Foundry 28mm SYW range. All my Russian infantry to date are in green coats, so this unit will stand out on the table, and the red is a nice look. If I'm lucky I get a few hours a week to plug away at these guys, and have developed a sort of Zen like attitude towards painting one colour at a time on all 36 figures.
At the same time, I've had a look at these 15mm Russian SYW figures from TundraWorks, a Canadian company based in Ottawa. I ordered an army pack during their Kickstarter last year and have just gotten around to looking at them.
As others have noted online, these pewter figures seem slim, but people also tend to say that they look good when painted. I thought I'd give this batch, also in waistcoats a try.
As things get fraught between Canada and our neighbours to the south, it's good to know that there are home grown sources for figures. Tundraworks has a line of Lace War and Napoleonic figures, which can be ordered from their Kickstarter page, though how one orders seems a little opaque to me.
Cheers and blessings to your brushes, MP+
Never heard of Tundraworks. Very interested in seeing how these figures look with a coat of paint.
ReplyDeleteIn my SYW Swedish army, I have a number of regiments using Trundraworks figs. They are nice, although they might not be considered the most detailed figures. What is quite nice is the variety of poses available.
