My friend Schmitty bought this great redoubt and I was able to take a closer look at my last visit to him.
The Crimean war is still a subject I have on my focus. Now with this redoubt I am wondering how a long defensive line of Russians would look like on a bigger plate:-) Maybe an attack on the Redan and the Malakoff?

Last week Darek sent me some more photos from his conversions.
The celtic warriors come too late for my Medway diorama, but the Osman cavalry are interesting for the siege of Vienna. I think the armoured guy needs a longer arm.
Here some nice Turkos charging out against the Bavarians and a little field hospital
Wolfgang made more photos from the project which I want to share with you
Our Hobbyfriend Didier from Borodino Figurines sent us these photos of his painted Vienna Militia 1809 from Hagen Miniatures, sculpted by Frank Ziegler
They are so good that I wanted to share them with you.
Over the last few month I had not much time to work on our new project. Last weekend I visited Schmitty and together we played a little bit Dr. Frankenstein:-)
As there is no Prussian cavalry (beside hussars) for the SYW available on the marked, we started converting existing figures like in the good old days. The Zvezda 1812 Saxons are the best source for Prussian Cuirassiers. The rest will be done with a paintjob.
While I was beheading many Saxons, Schmitty cut to pieces the hussars. See the results of an afternoon.

To be honest, I would be glad to see more figures for his range of Napoleon's Egyptian campaign, for example Mameluks as enemies for his French.
On the other hand I can understand that figures for popular subjects cover their costs faster than the lesser known subjects.
So here are the photos for his next set of French infantry at Waterloo
Soon available at Hagen Miniatures
