I should be able to show this sergeant when it has been painted at the end of the month, I will put the pictures up here. I will release these one at a time like I used to before.

Nice painting ... well done.

Just a query ..... the sash work by the Sergeant is painted Red, White and Blue ....??

The regulations state that Senior NCOs wore a crimson sash with stipe of the facing colour running through the centre, so in this case, blue.

Maybe this one is a French sash that he picked up in the field ???

Also I would have expected a deeper shade of blue, more like Royal Blue for a Scots Guard (3rd Foot Guard) ???

Sashes for the foot guards were different to line regiments. The 1802 regulations state 1st foot guards with a crimson sash with a central white stripe, Coldstream foot Guards wore a plain crimson sash and the 3rd foot guards wore a crimson,white and blue sash. As the Peninsular War went on all guard NC0 s had adopted plain crimson sashes.
My NCO is being depicted at the battle of Talavera 1809 so I have presumed he still had the crimson,white and blue sash. when a standard comes in a few months it will be of the standard which was used at the time of Talavera. I may also do a Waterloo Standard for anyone who wants a later Standard.

As for the shade of the facings I think they are fine remember this fella has been marching and fighting under the hot Spanish sun for months so his uniform may have faded a bit.

Thanks for clarifying that ..... and YES, I have found the same information in one of my uniform sources, so I'm very pleased that you get your figures in the correct uniform for the period, as that's something that some other makers don't get right

Also the faded blue would be most appropriate, especially seeing that they didn't get a regular resupply of uniforms, and being in sunny Spain, and on the parade grounds of cloudy UK, the cloth would lighten.

Well Done ... and looking to see more troops in this series,

John

Things must be desperate if the Drummer is having to pull out his sword !

Great sculpt your Russian Sculptor has done a Fantastic job !

Steve

 

[Rudi Starnberg]

Very impressive sculpts !

Here is a picture of the painted drummer. there was a bit of a misunderstanding with the colour of the trousers so they will be available with the usual white trousers although there will be 1 available in the grey trousers.

That's a fantastic looking figure, from sculpt to painting. Are these to be commercially available?

Iwan sells them direct through his website in the UK, he's the owner of Cold Steel Miniatures and also offers the superb higher end Russian type figures such as this one.................

 

[jazzeum]

This is definitely high end. Thanks for the info.

 

[joesgis]

It doesn't get any better than this. That is an absolutely gorgeous figure! Definitely the work of Tatiana Gapchenko.
Thank you for the photos. It's just a brilliant piece. I love how she painted the leather articles and fabrics and the face, of course.

This figure should be commercially available in about 1 to 2 months. I don't rush them I just let them get on with it in their own time. You can order direct from my web site in the UK but if you don't want to pay the shipping from the UK you could have a word with George from minutemen TS, I am sure he wouldn't mind getting them in for you.

You are quite right Joe this is the work of Tatiana Gapchenko s studios, they are a pleasure to work with. We are starting to plan the standard bearer now. I will post pictures as we go along.
