SYW - Russian Infantry - A bargain at CRISIS

Manufacturer:   Front Rank
Scale:   28mm


Hello,

At CRISIS there also had been a bring and buy.
Again I was lucky to make some real bargains.

One of the private traders had a lot of figures for the SYW at real good prices.
I bought several unpainted WargamesFoundry figures including Kleist-Hussards and Russian GuardInfantry.
I was also able to get about 20 unpainted FrontRank Prussians including two officers on horses for a special price.

But the best deal of them all was the painted infantry unit shown on the pictures below.
Look at these 24 figures of SYW Russian Infantry consisting of 12 Musketeers and 12 Grenadiers.
They may not be too well painted but they are already ready for action.

Maybe the bases will need some more work to give them a better look but I won´t put some more work on the figures themselves.
Concerning the bases they already have the same size I use for fixing my own figures.








Cheers
Mike

  5. Hi Mike,
    after our correspondence on TMP about your Austrian miniatures (I tried to find a way to PM you there but unsuccessfully!) - here I am again! (Apologies for hi-jacking this thread).
    Can you drop me an e-mail please? You might as well use gungadin@pt.lu. I should love to buy some of your Austrians.
    Thanks in advance
