1/72nd Crimea light Brigade

[@worldhistoryminiatureshous9757]

Really an impressive charge . Awesome paint job . The trousers colour really pop this light cavalry . Congrats ! Robert .

Thanks. Out of the 2 hussar regiments in the brigade I couldn't not pick the ones with red trousers 😀

Nicely done, agree with Phil that the Stretlet poses are dynamic, the falling horse in particular looks well animated.

[@scotty7906]

Thanks. Yes I do like the dramatic poses of strelets figures. Will have to see what the infantry are like but the Highlanders and Turkish infantry were ok.

love them mate nicely painted and good bases

[@scotty7906]

many thanks. glad you liked them

Fantastic. This is a period I'm sorely tempted by. Mid - Late Victorian is a great period.

[@scotty7906]

many thanks. Yes I agree its a great period to wargame

[@philRminiatures]

Cracking job on this dynamic and gorgeous cavalry!! 😍😍👍👍

[@scotty7906]

Many thanks, I do like the poses. I am looking forward to doing the Russians, strelets do 6 different types 😀

[@devonboy8243]

Absolutely stunning. Can you do a video on preping the figure for painting as I have heard that paint can come off easy from softer plastic miniatures.

[@scotty7906]

Many thanks. I may do a video on my painting process but my basic treatment is...wash the figures with soapy water. Once dry make a 50/50 mix of vallejo mat black and pva glue. This is the undercoat. Once painted I use vallejo Matt varnish. So far no paint chipping off. Hope this helps

[@devonboy8243]

Ideal, thank you.

Fantastic figures mate

Many thanks. Glad you liked them

Hope to see more of this project, which rules are you using, and as a seldom covered conflict at least on youtube, what is your recommended source material if give a run through of that would be awesome. Happy to swoop some notes about all that if you like. I'm just starting up on this conflict too, so great stuff :)

[@scotty7906]

I am thinking of using black powder rules for my figures, Blackpowder version 1 has a nice battle report based on Alma. I purchased a couple of Osprey books.. Balaclava and Inkerman. Nice books with detailed maps.

[@AndrewSmith-fd3fi]

@@scotty7906 Bookwise as some cheap easy to get options, there's a channel 4 book by Paul Kerr with an over view of the conflict and also I've seen the Destruction of Lord Raglan is highly recomended, and a Wargame Guide to the Crimean War by Partizan Press. Look forward to your next posting.

@@AndrewSmith-fd3fi Many thanks. Will look into them

Very pretty.

[@hondo1650]

Really nicely done. What size bases are you using?

[@scotty7906]

sorry I ended up selling my miniatures so not sure what size bases they were.
