28mm Perry Miniatures - Napoleonic Russian Peasants

24 "angry" peasants finished!

 

Here is one set of the three of these sculpts. I was particularly inspired by the Russian film set during this conflict called "Vasilisa." It's rated poorly but I loved it - especially for the costumes. Thematically compelling, it's a principle reason I want to game this guerilla war aspect of the 1812 invasion. Here's the trailer if you are interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dPk22ryL2U

Here is the second set of three. I was all set do all of these with Contrast/Speed paints but changed my mind after doing just the faces and hair. Layering just looks better here.

Finally, the third set of three.

Just one set of those with captured weapons. If one isn't using one of the women figures as Vasilisa - an actual historical figure, then the officer/leaders will come from this set.

So you can compare the differences by each model. The faces are a bit of a let down compared to the layered parts but I can live with it.

Any one of these could be Vasilisa though I'm leaning towards the one on the right.

No rhyme or reason to the coloring of the sashes - just wanted to make sure I didn't create any duplicates.
