Perry Napoleonic Russian Infantry - WIP +3 (Basic Painting Completed)

Yes, all of the basic painting is done. Fun Fact: I painted about 1,400 buttons - most of these on the cuff flaps (3 per sleeve) LOL! Plan to stain with Minwax Tudor Satin stain tomorrow.

In this short space of time, I've learned a bit about Russian Napoleonics. For one, they had different colored flag poles for different regiments - and the colors changed a couple of times in this period.
After the staining, I'll go back over and touch up stuff if needed, but since they'll be in rank and file formation, shouldn't be too bad. Until next time, thanks for stopping by and best wishes to you all.

    Looks great. The amount of miniatures seems like my 5-year scope:)

    Crazy man ! Your fantastic productivity (and quality) Dean is actually making me feel slightly ill 👍 if I could cope with this I think I might do Napoleonics but I fear I just couldn’t cope in 28 mm !

      Thank you very much, Matt. We'll see how they look after the staining. Right now, they're not painted with too much detail. I painted them with the intention of them in close formation. Warmest regards, Dean

      Thank you very much for your kind words, Norm. They're painted for overall effect in formed units, do individually they aren't painted with much detail. Warmest regards, Dean

    I know only one other that would tackle this many figures at one time and I think he is a madman!

    Great work, Dean!

      Thanks a lot, Jonathan. This is the first time I have painted this many figures in one shot. I have to say I love the Russian uniform. Nice contrasting colors, and no piping or lace. Sped up the process. Warmest regards, Dean

      Looks really good, Dean.
      James Fisher comes to mind for en masse painting. I'll do as many as 90 figures at a time, but that's my absolute limit!

      Thanks, Peter! I'll have to check out James' work. Best regards, Dean
