I have been on a painting frenzy of late building up the cavalry component of my SYW Russian army. The figures are largely Minden Miniatures plus a few RSM and Connoisseur figures. Click on the link below to see more pictures of the individual regiments and cavalry types (cuirassiers, horse grenadiers, dragoons, hussars and Cossacks). link

You won't get all of them in a shoebox. Well done, great figures.
Der Alte Fritz	17 Nov 2017 2:20 p.m. PST
Yes, they will make an appearance at the SYW Assn convention in March 2018.

Boy, that sure is a nice collection you have there!

How you have all the time to paint them, must have spent a decade at least. ( kidding of course,)

Great looking units.

Thank you for all the kind comments. I'm retired now so I can usually finish 12 cavalry figures in 2 to 3 days now.

Amazing stuff. Could easily break a 200 000 strong orc army.
ColCampbell	18 Nov 2017 8:07 a.m. PST
Jim, Even more great looking units!! But you better watch that pair of Cossacks in the left rear. They look a little too cozy with each other. Jim

Very nice, I'm building SYW Russians in 10mm
GamesPoet	20 Nov 2017 7:35 a.m. PST
Excellent!
dantheman	22 Nov 2017 8:51 a.m. PST
12 cavalry figures in two or three days? How many hours is that, I assume retirement comes with other activities.
jocknroll	22 Nov 2017 10:10 a.m. PST
Maintaining the Gold Standard there Jim. I doff my tricorne to you!
Der Alte Fritz	22 Nov 2017 9:58 p.m. PST
It takes me, on average, an hour to paint a single figure complete from start to finish. Of course I don't paint figures one at a time. From time to time I will keep a,time log on a,group of 12 figures and the total time divided by 12 is usually close to 60 minutes per figure.
Gunfreak	23 Nov 2017 12:47 a.m. PST
Is that with or without the horse?
Der Alte Fritz	23 Nov 2017 11:35 p.m. PST
That is for a foot figure only. Add maybe 10-15 more minutes for the horse.
