Foundry Russian Artillery Battery
Here's another group of Foundry figures that I received in a generous trade from a fellow-TMPer. This time some more Russians. They are great looking figures; I rushed the process to their detriment though. I sprayed the figures with Testors Dullcote before the Minwax stain completely dried. As such, the finish is a little more satin than flat. Oh well, it'll be fine for the gaming table.
I'm not up on Russian artillery, but used the illustrations in an Osprey book for the gun carriage color. Maybe too green?
The figures are probably a tad shorter than current Perry and Victrix figures, but I think blend in well with them nonetheless.
This unit pretty much rounds out a nice Russian brigade along with the infantry and cavalry I have.

Agreed, good work on some nice figures. The officer looks appropriately martial.
ReplyDeleteNice, interesting, putting a drummer on the stand.
ReplyDeleteLooks bloody fine to me Dean!
ReplyDeleteLooks great Dean.
ReplyDeleteLooks spot on to me! Great work Dean.
ReplyDeleteLooks good to me ! That green looks just fine too!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for the comments, Gentlemen!
ReplyDeleteDan: I used him mainly to have four figures on the stand - only had three crew initially. And in two uniform books I have, artiller drummers are illustrated.
Thanks again, Dean
Great looking artilerymen, and very nice gun!
ReplyDeleteGreat looking figures Dan, very very nice!! Like the added Drummer!!
ReplyDeleteA very nice set.
ReplyDeleteNice work Dean. Is the idea of artillery drummers uniquely Russian?
ReplyDeleteThanks again, Gents.
ReplyDeleteHGA: I don't think so; I know the French had drummers for artillery; just not exactly sure where they'd be standing battle - for this grouping I squeezed him in next to the gun. Best, Dean
You should use these if the club sticks with the next WAB campaign as Napoleonic.
