That is an amazing display Tim. I'm glad that someone collects different armies than just British and French.
Are most of the Russians from Fubar's range of castings? I see that there are a few Jager, who makes these? Last question...How does Fubars Russians size up to K&C?
Well done and thanks for sharing your wonderful collection.

Thanks guys!!! I love to do set-ups like this and wish I had more room to do more of these and had the time to set them up because I can only do these when my old lady has to work on the weekend and the kids are at their grandmothers so I can take over the living room for the night to set it all up.
I wish I had a big battle table like fubar so I could take my time and do a better job and hide all the figures bases and make the scenics look a lot better and more realistic and break up that green roll matt look and make it look more natural but this would take to munch time that I don,t have.
To answer your question, Yes these are mostly all fubars russains castings that I painted up with some tradition castings mixed in that I picked up on ebay already painted to a good standard on ebay and there are some conversions in there that I did from fubars castings. I believe those jagers are also by tradition and the one without the plum on his shako is one of fubars that I painted up as a jager. I just broke of the plum and dremeled of the extra flames on the shako and cartridge box because the triflame is for grenadiers. I have a few more ready for painting up as jagers but just have them primed so far.
Fubars russains are 1/32 and would go well with britains and frontline but would look a bit small when placed with K&C but If you place them right in a bigger diorama you could get away with mixing them together. I plan on doing this in the future if I get a chance to do the larger battle I have planed.
You should pick up some of these from fubars ebay site he has them for sale already painted now and they are a really great deal and are painted to a great standard. He also has them with the pavlov mitre heads also. I just ordered a bunch of these pre painted and I,m also painting another batch of his casting with the pavlov heads also.
I want to flock the bases of all my russains for the next diorama because I like the way the bases on those tradition castings blended in to the base.
