25mm Old Glory Cossack Wars Dismounted Cossacks Pt. 1

This is one of two 15 man bands. The other is in blues and browns. I failed the Dullcote here and probably didn't shake it enough giving a semi satin look. I may hit them again later.

These were from a previous Dullcote session with an older can and they came out normal.

Though intended for a Renaissance game, I'm repurposing them for a Patriotic War game. They'll serve as semi-uniformed partisans. They don't look the period at all but there is a decent hole in Napoleonic figure ranges.

Old Glory really has the right idea doing separate heads om the same body. I wish I had one facing down the barrel on this pose (my favorite) but they are still great.

These faces are seen in the Cossacks Celebrating seen elsewhere on this site. There were several heads sculpted and you see most of them more than once. Again, same body, different heads means two radically different figures - one confidently advancing, the other thinking better of it and withdrawing.

Just the sound of a Cossack yell would have the French dropping arms and surrendering. I doubt very much they used these axes at right  ...

Firing pistols, my favorite pose! He's actually doing it gangster style with the lock hardware almost on top. Still, high energy and animation.

The blue one will likely come up next but until then thanks for looking - Questions, comments and followers are welcome and encouraged!

Ah truly a Revolutionary spirit!

Saxons, right? 

Europeans really take reenactment seriously - there's no growing that beard out for the weekend. And he's not the only one who adopted period hair.

Officer of the 7th Hussars?

Go to Facebook and "Like" the  History & Reenactment Photography page. There's only a handful of what appear to be in aberrant costumes - the rest drips with authenticity. 

French Grenadiers

There's several re-enactors on Facebook with excellent pages. This shot is from one called "Reenactment & History Photography" via the Incomparable page. I really like the campaign-y look to this and wonder if I shouldn't ban pure white from my French altogether. I think I may also make the five o'clock shadow the norm too.
