Speed-Painting! | Napoleonic Russian Pavlovsk Grenadiers in 28mm for Black Powder

Learn a high-efficiency, low-drag way to paint up Black Powder (by Warlord Games) Napoleonic Russian Pavlovsk Grenadiers.
I was very excited to work on these, since most of my Napoleonic Russian army is a VERY uniform dark green and white paint scheme. I found these imperial guardsmen and their unique mitre caps a joy to paint. And I hope this guide helps you have fun painting up these excellent elite troops as well.

Great job making table top quality figures. I like the paint scheme you used on them. Happy modeling. Bill

Thank you!

One trick I have recently learned with flags is to put a layer of aluminium kitchen foil between the two halves of the paper. It helps the flags to retain their shape. Best to use a clear glue like UHU. Warspite

Very Nice I am painting some Napoleonic Russians at the moment.

[@no.6minis]

Thanks! And awesome! Enjoy the process 👍🏻

Awesome paint tutorial sir. Please tell me are these figures 1/72scal figures from Italeri, and secondly what drying time do you allow the figures to dry after each application. Again an awesome tutorial. Many thanks.

[@no.6minis]

@@FraserMitchell-k4j thank you! These are actually 28mm Perry Miniatures minis.

[@no.6minis]

As for drying time, the only step that requires maybe 1 hour of drying is the primer. You don’t want to start painting until the primer is dry. But after that there’s almost no waiting time. Since I was working on 24-48 models at a time, once I finish one color on the last model, the first one I painted is already dry. So I just keep going. It’s one of the best things about batch painting. You don’t have to wait for each paint application to dry.

[@FraserMitchell-k4j]

Thank you very much for your reply. I am gearing up to begin getting back into my 1/72 Airfix,Revell,and Italeri Napoleonics. I have never employed your approach but it is worth a try. Again fellow hobbyist thanks.

Beau travail, sauf un détail mais important, la peinture des yeux.
