It was one of many things which impressed me about Sergei Bondarchuks 1968 “War and Peace” in that the Austerlitz scenery were all in the old style uniform and then the Borodino battles were in the newer kiwers etc. Great attention to detail.Carlohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17002425294986020268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840039143606577641.post-5003484009212659032018-02-25T17:31:13.358-08:002018-02-25T17:31:13.358-08:00Great looking unit, Carlo.

I much prefer the look of these earlier Russians to the 1812 ones, but alas they were not variable way back when, so my own Russians are decidedly of the 1812 variety!Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840039143606577641.post-91726309947053797122018-02-25T16:07:47.552-08:002018-02-25T16:07:47.552-08:00Hi Stew.

It is a throw back to the old Peter Gilder Wargames Holiday Centre images I used to see in all the UK Magazines as a boy. I only use this for certain projects such as Elite Miniatures 1805-07 and Peninsular collections. I Dremel the piece of craft wood and then simply use PVA white glue on the horse to sit half way across the base and the finger.Carlohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17002425294986020268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840039143606577641.post-81920184358197066922018-02-25T07:32:20.261-08:002018-02-25T07:32:20.261-08:00Beautiful marching figures!
