Foundry Russian Cuirassiers - Completed

Actually need a pack of three more troopers to make this a 12-man unit.

I added some height to the horses by gluing some plastic card beneath their bases.

As can see, one of the bases awaits another trooper. Since I use acrylic caulking to texture the bases, adding another figure to it is no problem. I also need to add a standard - or at least the pole.

Here is what the horses looked like prior to a Minwax stain. Really basic block painting (and a little sloppy too) with just the mane and tail given a dry-brush for highlighting.

And after the stain and a finish of Testors Dullcote. Nothing award-winning here, but it definitely is fast and works well enough for ranked unit basing.

Here a couple of comparison shots of the Foundry Russians next to some Perry French heavy cav.

Not so bad at all for battlefield purposes IMO; the biggest difference that I can tell is the sculpting of the horses.

The Foundry ones are a bit bulky looking, whereas the current Perry ones are much more elegantly sculpted.
