Nice detail but the heads are too big for the bodies. Supposed to be 1/8th of total body size. Metal figure on the left looks more anatomically correct. Glad I use 15/18mm where we are blessed with Tony Barton's marvelous sculpts. |

These do look a little off with the head size. I suppose viewing them from above might give one a bit of a forced perspective. Charming sculpts and if the entire army were made from them they would look great. |

Aoplogies if this question should be a new thread but as this thread concerns Russian Infantry I will ask it here.
Were the Pavlosk Grenadier Battalions ever attached to other Russian regiments during the Napoleonic wars?
I can find very little information about the Pavlosk Grenadiers on the internet and if anyone can point me in the right direction I will be very grateful.
Thanks for any help which may be forthcoming.

Not likely. Are there examples, that regiments attached their whole battalions to another regiments at all, in any armies? I suppose, that you have in mind, that depot battalions may send their grenadier companies to converged grenadier units? Pavlovsk regiment does this well as all others. At Borodino the regiment itself fought near Utitsa, but its depot grenadiers near Bagration fleshes. |

Thanks for your reply Shoki Boki.
I am currently painting a pre 1810 Russian infantry regiment and was considering if there were any Pavlosk grenadier companies or battalions ever attcahed to any Russian infantry regiment or battalion pre 1810, simply for some visual variation on the field.
I can find very little on the Pavlosk regiment so I may do a Pavolosk grenadier regiment alone.
Thanks again

Hi Armand
The penultimate link is particularly useful. Thank you for your efforts.

@doggie You could always imagination the thing… Prior to whenever (1805?) Russian Grenadier regiments had a battalion of grenadiers in large mitre caps and two battalions of fusiliers in smaller (fusilier) mitre caps. You could pretend that one or all of your battalions hadn't been upgraded to the cylindrical shako with the massive busch plume affair. Perhaps a grenadier regiment that served in Grusinia (Georgia) or on the Siberian lines. |

Hi Stoppage,
Now that is an idea I may well explore.
Thanks |

Looking at this page: link Note #2 is exciting: For aesthetic purposes, the miter head band of some regts varied I just remembered that the musketeer regiments had a battalion of grenadiers and two of musketeers. So you could field a battalion of mitres and then maybe use bicornes for the other battalions |

If you want to check the assignment of the Pavlov then look at Viskovatov, volume 10 part A gives the organisation. link |
