russians and prussians

[henry_martini]

First a few russians. Nothing really new but the new legs fit just nicely for napoleonic foot and leg ware.

Love your Prussian Landwehr. Michael!

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

[henry_martini]

The legs are from the redcoat of set 4127

Thanks for the information, Michael!

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

...btw regarding your Prussian Landwehr,
how did yo :Pu hang the http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30+24+7320 clip?

it is just put in atm, I am considering to glue a short rod inside of the crossbelt

and did you cut this iron cross from a sticky metal foil sheet?

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.

very difficult to get it symmetrical

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.     

Needless to say that all inspiration is owed to specialist's 100 days thread.
