Howdy! As one of my projects for the year, I decided upon the Crimean War. I've managed to make a decent start on it, but still many miles to go!
All figures are 1:72 Strelets, with the Guard Officer on Bentick's command base a metal figure from Tumbling Dice (which match in perfectly with the plastics! More pics on the blog: link Thanks

Nice work Ryan. I've been considering a big leap into the Crimean War for some time. I have my eyes on Eureka's 18mm line, which has a lot of variety. One of these days … |

MINIFIGs produced a nice Crimean War range in 15mm back in 1987. I still have mine, although they've not been on the tabletop in over 10 years. Not quite as animated as your 1/72 Strelets figures, however. |

Very nicely done! I picked up all the 1/72 Crimean line except the British Guard pack. I actually have 15mm Rank and File with some Minifigs already painted. I just love 1/72 so bought them. |

There is something about those big rounded bearskins that makes them look a great priod to paint and play. I keep looking at the Strelets range and pondering – especially as the cavalry sets have a great command range, and falling horses – very dynamic. So thanks for that – very inspirational pics |
