BOKI General Mikhail Kutuzou
This a Boki 15mm Kutuzou figure. The figure is a very nice sculpt. I also have the AB sculpt that I painted before 2009. It is apparent that my painting ability has gotten much better. But besides that I like the new sculpt by Boki better. Of course the AB figure was sculpted a long time ago.

Minifigs Russian Artillery
These are pre 1812 Russian Artillery. I really like these figures from Minifigs. They are true 15mm. Next to Old Glory figures they look fine. Since most of my figures are Old Glory and Blue Moon they will look good. The guns are way too small. I will have to swap them out. The difference in size between the Old Glory guns and the Minifigs guns will bother me.
The AB figures are large 18mm and really look odd next to the Minifigs.

The Koporski Regiment was attached to the 23rd.
Again these are more 15mm Old Glory Russians.

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.
