Foundry Napoleonics - WIP +4

Last small group of the mixed bag I got in a TMP trade. Russians painted up as Jaeger in forage caps. They appear to have Brown Bess muskets - I understand that these were in limited supply from the British and given to the best marksmen. Again, these have yet to be stained with Minwax. Hopefully have that accomplished tomorrow. They will also get some highlighting after the stain.
All of the Foundry here are really nice sculpts, but these Russians seem to be better proportioned than the others. I think they'd look pretty good next to the current Perry releases.

I have to say, it was quite enjoyable painting a variety of uniforms in such small batches that it never became tedious or boring. Along with a few other units, I'm planning to use all of these figures in a Sharp Practice scenario called "Road to Leipzig."

  2. Lovely work; I have to admit that I can only cope with batches of small units, it helps to keep my goldfish like mind on the job. I have nothing but admiration for those chaps that can produce whole regiments at once!
