The link below holds the information as laid out by Father Primus. It is fairly vague.
"Let's take some mongols/napoleonic french and turn 'em into any comissar's living nightmare - mounted cossacks!"

Mounted plastic Mongols are done by Fireforge Games.

Excellent work Don, although I don't know what is more impressive, the quality of the brushwork or the rate at which you are churning units out

That tchanka is gorgeous. I am planning one also, but I think I'll make mine out of sheet brass.

I think Don wrote plastic mongols, I suppose that means conversions from the Fireforge sprue. I would be very interested to read a step by step of that conversion process and compromises made regarding uniform. I sure as hell would like to do something similar and would appreciate Don's insight.

Thanx gents....
@Cossacks
Yes, as mentioned I used the Fireforge plastic mongols. Pretty much as they come out of the box.
I just used mainly plastic french hussar heads from the perrys....cause they have cool moustaches. To get the distictive hats I scrapped the napoleonic headgear away (leaving just the face) and modelled the new cossak hats with greenstuff. Thats pretty it.
Next I added a few guns and stuff from all over the plastic mountain: british WW2 Enfield, french muskets, french heavy cav sabre, a german Blitzkrieg handgrnate arm, 30years war cav arm, russian pistol...
The heads have little variation. I used one plastic hussar with fell cap and one irokese head from the WW2 american airborne.
In a later stage I added shoulderstraps but couldn't force myself to model the cool munition pockets on the chest, as father primus did.
@tachanka
Would love to see your take on it....
Cheers,
Don

Todays update is my biplane....
Still a little WIP, but I have some more troops to paint. So I will put on the side for now.
Not sure if I should add a tricolour on the wings or some "heraldy". And I am not sure if it will be flying for the reds or the whites...
And here it is flying around in my kitchen....
Cheers,
Don

Feel free to draw on the aircraft the badges of the imperial army - even the red ones flew for a long time with old identifying marks.
Here you can find the real color options such aircraft in the Red Army (and not only):

Thanx, Cuprum....
I will consider this...
Her is the tachanka with a little paint on it.
Kind of tempted to build one more. But the time for the big game is ticking...just 8 days left.....

Ha...my first double post in this thread....
To get some ...erm...paint in my white russian troops I painted a unit of Kornilov shock troops.
Again Coppletsone minis....
I am not a keen black painter.
But I tried a least to get the arm symbols on....kind off....
Cheers,
Don

Lovely stuff. I agree the plane could benefit with a splash of colour and/or just the skull and crossbone on the rudder.
