BLB squadron size - six models

Well these chaps have taken a long time to appear but having had a chance to paint one each of the first six models and four new horse types I am hugely pleased with what we are about to release and believe them to be we worth the wait.

This final piece in the series of three is painted as a brigadier of infantry. He is a slight conversion from the cornet figure in WLOA48 with an officer's arm replacing his original open hand.



The sentinel beside him is painted as a Semenovski Guardsman.



The uniform and Russian sash in national colours contrast very well with the black horse. I chose a smaller round base for this fellow.

This vignette feature three figures. The hat waving general from WLOA48 a senior officer from WLOA54 and a Russian musketeer from R01.



I use some interesting pieces of dead wood to create the fallen tree effect. You may also notice the two cannon balls and ploughed up ground to the front of the tree.



This is buckshot supplied by a friend.



I was very pleased with this piece of work and will copy it...
