Despite my best efforts I’m still doing almost anything except paint Russian Napoleonics, particularly cavalry. I’ve been distracted by a frenzy on eBay selling a remarkable amount of excess (never needed) unpainted figures, a bit of tidying up and finishing these odd pieces to decorate the table.

| First up, a Russian senior officer and his Cossack aide. I thought I could use these for the Crimea, but also for any of Bismark’s wars as a Russian Military Observer to one side or the other. |
 |
| A Prussian general in hussar dress, either for 1866 or 1870/71. |
 |
| An Austro-Hungarian General or just something to decorate the tabletop. He could also join the ranks of my growing international community if military observers. |

| They look ok and do the job they’re supposed to. All of them together with the Lioness of the Burrow eying them menacingly , thinking “if you don’t tickle my tummy I shall trample all over these men and kick ‘em on the floor where the puppies will eat them!” As if she would …..🐲 |
I will hopefully get the first two squadrons of Russian dragoons finished tomorrow…..but I’m itching (if that’s the right word) to start my 3D resin cuirassiers.
Nice work Colin.
