Title: russians and prussians
Post by: henry_martini on October 18, 2011, 10:29:00 AM: First a few russians. Nothing really new but the new legs fit just nicely for napoleonic foot and leg ware.

Where are the "new legs" from on your Russians?

Thanks for the information, Michael!

4127 looks like a great set. It's full of wonderful customizing pieces! ... :)

I got the impression that these crosses were white, not metal. Maybe I am wrong. I cut it from the left over of a star wars sticker sheet.

Yes it is, but since it is removable it can easily be replaced if a more symmetrical solution is at hand.

Actually the prussian implementation of cossaks. Employed en masse and with varying success.

Before I get remarks about symmetry: Tweaking my rules again I cut these crosses to replace the old stickers with new ones. I am still searching for a more regular pm- and toy-like solution but I assume for the time being that their crosses might have been not to regular too as they were enlisted in a hurry and had all cheap equipment that was available. ;D

Needless to say that all inspiration is owed to specialist's 100 days (https://gardenwargaming.playclicks.com/forum/index.php?topic=1515.15) thread. :)
