Butterfly Workbench Poles, Russians and others

So things have not been great in my world of late so I decided the Butterfly should be released to cheer me up a bit. So lots of different stuff painted this time. I should say right off that I have had to change my phone and the camera on this one is not as good so still working on that. Sorry folks!

So before going off on one I finished this highlander, hurrah! Another of the lovely Bicorne ECW range,

Next for the butterfly were Polish light horse, a real mish mash of figures, the two outside ones are Gripping Beast plastic Saracen light horse with Polish heads, they work well I think. next in from the left a TAG drummer with his drum stick replaced by a war hammer, then a Foundry officer and a Redoubt officer on a Foundry Sikh Wars  horse. They all mix reasonably well I think.

A couple more to add to these and we will have the 11th unit of Poles finished to use either for the Great Northern War or the Deluge.

A wee close up of one of the Gripping Beast conversions. You would never think the figure was designed for the crusades.

I then decided, no idea why, that as it was no longer snowing Russians for the retreat from Moscow project should get an airing, Well I have stack of these to paint so why not. Chum Steve base coated these to give me a head start when he was doing his own, cheers Steve.

Despite being a fairly old range now these are still lovely sculpts and fit really well with the larger Perrys.

Sticking with the Retreat from Moscow, I also made a start on the first French Cavalry in the shape of these Chasseurs. Again lovely figures, they are one piece castings which I am not a fan off typically, all with multiple seperate heads and sword arms.

These guys look suitably untidy, I have enough figures to do 3 groups of 8 for the cavalry, not sure yet if they will all be chasseurs, lets see.

Thats it for the moment, I might put the butterfly back in its box and focus on some more Sikh Wars stuff next.

Stay Safe!
