My Russian army for 1812 is coming along, but after painting a few hundred figures in green coats and white trousers, I'm ready for a bit of a change. Can anyone recommend figures suitable for Pierre Bezukhov or Natasha Rostova from War and Peace?

Thanks in advance!

Oh, dear, my post is set to be falling off the front page with not a single response! No recommendations on Napoleonic-era civilian ladies? No gentlemen to go wandering around the Borodino battlefield?

Thanks anyway!

Civilians are difficult for 1805-1815. You can get them for AWI or the Revolutionary Wars of France. Peninsula is no problem. Carlist Wars, or ACW rioters. But those folk from that awful movie by old Sergei Bondarachuk…more difficult.

Every time I watch my DVDs of W&P, or esp Waterloo, I ask why did they chose him to make the film. "And Quiet Flows the Don" was, I admit, even worse……….it went to the local tip.

Thanks for the response, deadhead. To be honest, I've never seen any of the film or television versions of W&P, other than stills, so my take on the characters is based on reading the book. That way I don't expect them to look like any particular actor!

No, I have searched high and low. You can get civilians for AWI, for French Revolution, for Spain in Carlist Wars, even ACE. But really nothing for the late Napoleonic Era. …..and you are talking about the gentry, not a tavern wench! Redoubt Enterprises were the nearest I could find, meant to be ACW but reasonable with conversion.

A book? Did not know they had made the book of the film. If it is as bad as Mosfilm's effort I will not bother. Is it still called War and Peace? Who wrote it?

PS (only kidding)

Just tried watching the Anthony Hopkins version. Pretty much what you'd expect for a 1970s era British television historical drama. I won't be watching the rest…

Thanks for your comments, looks like we need to lean on the various figure sculptors for some civilians. There should be a good demand, what with Song of Drums and Shakos, Sharp Practice and similar rulesets being so popular.

Here's a possibility for Pierre:

Maybe the chap on the right, with the glasses.

Brilliant. Genius. Absolutely perfect.

Never even thought of Egyptian Campaigns. I went through all the standard Napoleonics, Carlist Wars, French Revolution, even Civilians from Peninsula and both SYW and ACW……….missed them.

So who can find Natasha now?

Surely somebody does the Duchess of Richmond's Ball in 28mm……..or maybe not

Did Foundry do some Napoleonic era ladies?

In the past 11 years, anything in any scale in 3D printing ?

Front Rank now do some Napoleonic Civilians that would probably suit very well.
