Now JJ from Australia joined our group and wanted to have much more Russians. We discussed several posibilities and came to the decission that figures without heads give us a lot of possibilities.
So I looked after the regular drill poses of the Russians and Massimo sculpted these headless guys.
Next the idea was to use different heads. We have here to offer:
Grenadier Shako 1808
Musketier Shako 1809
Grenadier Shako 1809 (mostly worn in 1812-13)
Kiver 1813
Fieldcap
Mitre for Pavlov Grenadiers
Another Kiver for the Russian guard with the eagle will follow
We will use the system more often in the future. Especially when Pieter and I tried to find the uniforms for Spanish units 1809-1814 we gave nearly up. So the idea came to make some dollies in regular poses and afterwards just add the little differences to the uniform to create the special regiments.
BTW, next in the line of JJ are Russian reservists and infantry in campaign dress.
The figures are already in the shop. But be careful, order enough heads and not just the figures:-)
