St Petersburg Grenadiers

This is the 1st battalion of the St Petersburg Grenadiers.  I chose to do them with their 1805 facings; turquoise collars and cuffs, and raspberry shoulder straps is a nice combination. The 2nd battalion together with a full battery (6 guns and crews) of 6pdr foot artillery are within sight of the finishing line. 

In other news, my deep dive into the garden shed of doom is a bag of mainly Russian Crimean War limbers and teams, a dozen of them! I remember trawling bring and buys, eBay and the like a few years ago for cheap limbers and must have been so successful that I promptly forgot all about them! I’d better get them done as they can be used for Crimean and Napoleonic Russians I reckon.

The Grenadiers are Casting Room Miniatures and the flags are from Maverick Models. I’m not 100 percent happy with them so once the other two battalions are done I shall see what I can do with them.
