Zouave Command
The residual project from before Christmas was the command group for the French Zouaves. These are Wodensfeld figures and now that they are painted they fit in quite well with the Douglas Miniatures infantrymen. The pictures are a bit grainy due to light issues. I may take some more at the weekend. The standard is downloaded from a picture on the internet and touched up with gold paint and set with pva glue.Sunday 19 January 2014
Russian Infantry - Grenadiers
Russian grenadiers wore exactly the same uniform as line and light troops, except for minor embellishments to the uniform, and of course the standards that they carried. This unit is made up of R1, officer in helmet, R2 infantry in helmet advancing and R14 infantry standard bearer in helmet. They are also wearing white summer trousers, just for a change! The standard denotes a grenadier regiment of the 3rd Division.Russian infantry columns on the move:

Back in Production
After a nice long break for Christmas and New Year, the paint brushes are back in action with a unit of Russian grenadiers almost ready to take the field. In the meantime I have been having a go at painting a 42nd Highlander (Black Watch) to see what they look like. I will be working on a full unit in the coming months. After the Russian grenadiers it will be a further regiment of British Heavy Dragoons.
