Ekatineroslav Grenadiers

I rebased and flagged this unit to represent the 3rd Corp, 1st Grenadier Division, 2nd Brigade Ekatineroslav Grenadiers. The partner to the Pavlovski Grenadiers. I'm sure this is the second most painted unit of the Russian Army. Just because everyone wants to paint the Pavlovski unit. The command stand are AB figures and the rest are Old Glory.

BOKI 1812 Russian Imperial Guard Cossacks

These Boki 18mm Guard Cossacks are mounted on Old Glory 15mm horses. I think Sho did a good job on these figures. He really put a lot of detail into them. They match up size wise with the Old Glory, AB and Bluemoon figures I have.

I've started using a matte varnish on my latest figures. It really has a good look. I especially like how the flatter finish appears on the horses.

Russian 41st Jagers

These are more 15mm Old Glory Russians. I painted them to be the 41st Jagers ,12 Division, 7th Corp, 2nd Army. At Borodino according to the Order of Battle they were attached to the 3rd Corp.

I included a picture of my painting desk to show that I have been painting with a written down plan. This has had the benefit of keeping me painting with a purpose. I believe that I have finished painting more units in a shorter time because I have a plan.
