Magnificent painting. I ' get mine pretty soon. |

very nice, I was thinking of building a Russian army after I complete the ongoing projects. Good brush! |

Painted great, as usual. But my poor ADC sculpts looks so skinny at some angle. Almost like Nuremburg miniatures. |
von Winterfeldt | 06 Feb 2017 3:57 a.m. PST |
in my view they look ok – thinner as Ermolov – but all in all – ok, good proportions – head versus body as well. |
Sho Boki | 06 Feb 2017 4:17 a.m. PST |
I will add them weight, when I adopt them to my own new horses. |
von Winterfeldt | 06 Feb 2017 6:27 a.m. PST |
Don't bulk them out too much, Ermolov is much too big – go like Ostermann – Tolstoi, or Miloradovich, for example.
|
Jcfrog | 06 Feb 2017 6:47 a.m. PST |
Yes do not make them too big. They should be mostly fit young men, not fat, REMF. And the horses should be reasonably bigger than their riders. aB horses must be the standart. For your sales they better be fitting AB AND Bluemoon+++. Rougly as they are not in units, so not to stand out as unfitting. |

This is again some lovely painted figures! Wonderful job VW, your technique is superior! |
Sho Boki | 06 Feb 2017 11:56 p.m. PST |
I myself consider Miloradovich to be the best universal parading Russian general in my range. With ADC I think mostly to do the same corrections as with earlier Austrian Dragoons. Slightly wider shoulders and stronger scruff. |
von Winterfeldt | 07 Feb 2017 12:55 a.m. PST |
it is difficult to chose a favorite – there are some very lovely ones, not to forget Kutusov, but in case I would have to chose, Tutshkov
|
von Winterfeldt | 08 Feb 2017 4:44 a.m. PST |
as I see on Sho's hompe page – only 6 more Russian generals to go – to complete the Borodino project – so I can hope for Russian generals part 4? |
Sho Boki | 08 Feb 2017 5:51 a.m. PST |
You mean Cavalry Corps Commanders set? These will be fit to my horses. Only one last horse from my first horse set must be finished before moulding. |
von Winterfeldt | 08 Feb 2017 6:36 a.m. PST |
I still hope that you will persue a dual strategy, that your horsemen will fit both on AB horses and yours, by that providing more variation as well. |
Sho Boki | 08 Feb 2017 7:24 a.m. PST |
My new riders will probably fit to any horse on market, but my old riders and AB riders probably don't fit on my horses. You may check out, my Marengo and Borodino Murats are sculpted by new horse standards. |
von Winterfeldt | 08 Feb 2017 8:16 a.m. PST |
don't forget to show us your new horses – how many did you sculpt already? |
Sho Boki | 08 Feb 2017 8:49 a.m. PST |
One mould = one set = 6 horses. I uploaded picture of 4 horses on my horse topic. |
Maldini1966 | 08 Feb 2017 9:19 a.m. PST |
Amazing work all round Cheers Losh |
von Winterfeldt | 08 Feb 2017 2:13 p.m. PST |
I still would wish that also AB miniatures could be fitted on your horses – this would add more variations for cavalry |
Sho Boki | 09 Feb 2017 12:28 a.m. PST |
As my metal is soft enough and difference is tiny, then simply cutting my horses sides slightly thinner by scalpel helps to fit AB riders. |
Jcfrog | 17 Feb 2017 1:12 p.m. PST |
Just got mine. Superb, and spotless job in sending them. Now remains to do them justice with as good a paintjob as on the above pics. Might do a sacrifice to Baal hamon to help. |
Sho Boki | 21 Feb 2017 7:36 a.m. PST |
Don't forgot to show us the results. :-) And how about Russian Infantry? You like them? You taked them all and they are out of stock and not available anymore until resculped ones appear. |
Jcfrog | 21 Feb 2017 3:53 p.m. PST |
;)) Will have a second batch with new ones. Have to show to pal so he will take some too. Never been closer to learn more wordpress to finally set up that site I wanted. ( pics) The Infantry will end up in Tormasov army as with old shakos and because it seems I might be gaming again with old pal who already has the whole Borodino army. One thing you could do alongside the Guard cossacks, the Chevalier gardes without cuirasse as it seems they were. No one does AFAIK. Some of the old commander will be demoted or sold to be replaced by their real portrait like Boki minis. |
rmcaras | 23 Feb 2017 2:35 p.m. PST |
So, there are 6 more Russian [Cavalry} generals planned for the Borodino Project. And then? You have 11 French leaders listed? yes? |
Sho Boki | 25 Feb 2017 3:48 a.m. PST |
Yes. Then all Russian generals are presented and I turn to French side. |
Jcfrog | 25 Feb 2017 9:51 a.m. PST |
So next year? My ru cav generals will be demoted ;) |
