Douglas Miniatures Cossacks

I am conscious of the fact that despite the title of this blog it has been a long while since I painted any Douglas Miniatures figures. I have always thought that the Russian Cossack artillery figure had potential for conversion.  So, off with the whip, out with the drill and some wire lances purchased on line I came up with these. The result was very pleasing..............

    Very Nice!

    May I ask who the lance supplier is? They look rather useful. WM

    Thanks. I bought the lances (search for spears) on eBay. They are sold in various lengths and styles - these are 50mm cut down a bit. Here is a link to one such site (hope it works):

    I also use them for flag poles - 100mm are made of a thicker wire. A seller called Arcane Models sold these particular items to me.

    Those are top notch. I have a one as part of a Cossack horse artillery team.
