Considering getting some AIP Napoleonic Russians. How do these look next to HaT Russians and Blackcat Russians, do they work well together? (help Scott :))

How do the AIP Arabs and mounted arabs compare to Conte arabs? I was also thinking the TSSD Indian horses might make some alternative mounts compared to the AIP horses? thoughts?

I don't have the Blackcat Russians myself. Fish may be able to help.

I don't have any AIP mounted Arabs. I have a few Conte Arabs and while the detail is nice, the plastic is too flexible even after the hot/cold water method to hold weapons straight for long. Conte sometimes suffers from flash and mold mismatch.
 
AIP Arabs go real well with Conte arabs, the colors and size are an almost perfect match.

Here is a side by side photo for you. The Hat Russians are the small side next to the others. The painted ones are A.I.P..

Thanks so much for the pictures and opinions. The AIP Russians seem to be of equivalent quality to HaT and would mix well in different formations.

I have always looked at the AIP arabs as mounted possibilities to add to the foreign legion playset, since it appears Conte will not be releasing plastic mounted arabs henceforth.

Does anyone know or think it would work to place he AIP mounted figures on TSSD Indian horses?

thanks!!
 
Russian uniform buffs.....are those odd ends figure FROM Russia more representative of Austerlitz than Borodino? The men wear "pigtails".

Scott those Russian made Grenadier figures are wearing the old style uniforms and shako hats, just prior to the 1812 campaign the Russian army changed all there uniforms so those figures would be out of place in 1812 and the the Hat and Black cat figures uniforms would not work for battles before 1812. Cavalry and artillery uniforms were also changed at that time also.

Thanks Fish. I was able to get a good number of these figures in Green plastic before they disappeared. I'll save them for a set up of Austerlitz.267.JPG
