Russians for Austerlitz 1805
There are possible commissions to do almost all uncovered-yet troops for Austerlitz 1805 in greatcoats, and Russian musketeers are the first ones. Troops only, no command. AB officers are usable. As I had need to create one additional mold for Piedmont flagbearers and fusilier commands, I added there also these Russians from the end of my schedule. There are problems with their bases (not cast properly), but I hope to solve these mold problems over the weekend (with a bit cheaper electricity).
So.. Russian Musketeers 1802-1805 with Greatcoats and Bicornes.
As you can see, there are two figures with some head problems. One doll's head was broken in the mold, and another doll's head is simply too big. No visible problems on table, but unpleasantly visible on photos. But as I probably need to cast these figures in large quantities, I will put these corrected and repaired dolls in some other mold in the future.
Here is the doll for these figures, to see it in different angles.
AB did Russians for Austerlitz a long time ago, and these figures are smaller than current AB ones. I don't know the size of AB Russians in overcoats, but here is a comparison picture with an early AB grenadier.
Now I will continue with my schedule – commands for British heavy and light dragoons and French cuirassed heavy cavalry.
