Ahhh so that's them done, I've uploaded a wee video of the finished unit on YouTube:
And belove are a few pics of them
So 24 finished in total and I'm really happy how they came out, Sho Boki has done a fine job of sculpting this interesting little unit. You can find a link to Sho's website on the bottom left of this page.
The command figures were the most fun to paint however I did enjoy adding and detailing the lances before I started painting.
I added a few AB casualties for a little bit of interest.
I put together a pretty simple 2nd sotnia guidon from the illustration shown in Stephen Summerfields book on the Leib Garde Cossacks (brilliant book!)
So I can now say goodbye to them till I add the 6 figures for the Black Sea sotnia. it's great to see them finished and thanks for all yer encouraging comments while Ive been putting them together!!!
So onto the next project . . .
Happy Wargaming!

Incredible details! Excellent job a salways...
Lovely brush work - awesome!
Beautiful work, Paul!
Those have come out great, and I'm quite tempted to get some, but I have a ton still to do without getting distracted. Your painting is phenomenal.
Paul... I LOVE the command stand. Really stands out - banner esp.! Well done once again on these lil guys. Project complete.
Turned out brilliant Paul!
Thanks Fran, really chuffed with them. When I seen Sho was releasing them I was very excited to get them painted up. Has anyone mentioned to you we look alike? I've had a couple of mentions from friends! Will be the Celtic blood in us!
Thanks Kurtus, I had fun with the officers and trumpeters. The chevrons came out nice in the end. the banner could have used a little more workers on the device however I really wanted the unit finished.
Congratulations! Your big project is finished with brilliant results.
They looks lovely. Truly amazing unit.
Sho
Really stunning work Paul - whats up next?
They are awesome Paul! Very very well done!
That's a cracking unit Paul it's very powerful something to aspire to .
Cheers Gav .
Gorgeous work Paul. Your collection is stunning mate! Always great see your latest unit. You always very much tempt me to dabble in 18mm AB's again.
Naughty boy!!!
Simply gorgeous execution of a very distinctive unit, Paul!
Thanks Sho, well done on bringing them to life for us!
Thanks Ian, east Prussian national Kavalry for the kayzbach order of battle.
Thanks Rodger, very much appreciated! Nice to see them finished!
Superb Paul!
They look set to carve a colourful path through the French lines. Stunning!
Also, EPNCR...sound colourful but fair bit of bespoke green stuff work required?
I've already done the braid work on the Ru 😉
What a fantastic achievement Paul! Those will look great with the rest of your wonderful collection. I've purchased some AB French and will be giving them a try so wish me luck!:-)
Christopher

Green stuff braid?!?!?!

Thanks Christopher! So you've went for AB miniatures, I'm sure you'll make them look awesome!!!
Thanks Peter, I've been wanted it for a good while so I'm glad they are painted!
Thanks Carlo, if you do dabble I hope you will enjoy painting them however the 28's you do are superb and if I had the gaming space is do 28's!
Cheers Gav, your already painting excellent AB's. Sit back and look at your Portuguese!
Thanks Colin, I really appreciate your encouragement. I had a lot of enjoyment painting them. A wee bit late for your current project even at Austerlitz?

Cheers Jonathan, very happy they are finished. Took a while but I'm happy with them.
Beautiful, if I ever won the lottery, you'd be painting up my 15mm figures......forever!
Can't wait to see that
So I have to hope you don't win the lottery so as not to be a slave to Ray! 😳
Ok if I win the lottery you will be my painting Slave Ray!!!
Paul, those are incredible. I can't believe the amount of detail you've achieved on such small figures. And the wounded Frenchman is an excellent touch. Oustanding, inspiring stuff!
Best wishes
Giles
