So we have made it to Christmas once again!!!
A very late post, Mai is getting ready for church so I have a few minutes left. A big thanks to everyone who has shared our hobby through my blog over the year. I haven't painted much at all this year and I'm sorry for that, heres hoping for lots more in the next year!!!
So for my last post of the year I have managed to finish off a very long running incomplete regiment of Russian cuirassiers!!! I've had 24 of them finished since 2010 and have finally made them up to full strength!!!
So here they are all 30 Russian Ekaterinoslav cuirassiers!!!
They are done in my old style so the black is showing through in areas instead of a darker shade of the highlight colours. Still I'm really happy with them.
These are the 6 that took so long and it's really brilliant that they are done!!!!
I almost had them done a couple of weeks back then I stuck the flag upside down after reminding myself to make sure I check before using a little superglue for the final fix! Yip I'm a clown at times!!!
I also sorted out the coat on my new 6mm guys. I have been doing Russians for a good while now yet still it left my head that commanders wore grey coats!
Ok so my time is up and this is my last post for the old year. I still have to track down 3 of the give away winners so I'll chase that up after the new year!
Everyone have a very merry christmas and a happy new year!!! I know I have a small selection of AB naps in a box under the tree!!! I'll fill you in later . . .

Merry Christmas!
I remember those cuirassieurs with infantry colonel, leading his charge. ;-)
Exhausting work! I are able to paint so many figures per regiment only in 6mm, if even that.
And grey overcoat on 6mm general looks magnificent too.
