I've recently completed forces I plan to use for a Fraustadt type scenario (though I haven't been completely faithful to the OOB and have painted facings I thought looked good on the table). I'll certainly be painting more Russians in the future, but for now I've assembled a combined Russo-Saxon force, with a Polish mounted contingent.
Figures and flags all Baccus and foot are mounted on 60x30mm with the horse on 80x40mm. Cheers!
The foot.

Lastly, a couple closer in shots for good measure.

They look superb 8)
-
Great looking army!
-
This is really impressive; I keep going back to look at the cavalry in particular, your arrangement really captured the feel of horses in motion, A+!
-
Awesome! :-*
-
Those cavalry..... 8) :o :-*
And everything else too. I particularly admired the lining on the tricorne hats.
That is one beautiful army, with a great choice of basing too.
-
Said it elsewhere and worth saying again.
Absolutely stunning army.
-
Wow! but too much Sax for me :)
-
Amazing! Stunning painting!! Great to see that you have returned to your 6mm GNW project ;) It had been a while and thought they might have been relegated to the never ever shelf.
Does one spy 6mm ancients in the background? :D
-
fantastic! I don't think I have ever seen 6mm done better.
-
Thank you all very kindly.
LS - I'm amazed that you remember my early progress on these! I certainly took a long break from my first efforts to finally completing them. And you are correct, in the background are 6mm ancients. I've decided to finish another project that had been languishing in the lead pile - Romans v Pyhrrus. These will both be roughly 3x the size of a typical DBA army, so not quite as daunting an effort as the GNW forces - and no tricorne lining to do! I'll share more of these in the proper forum once I'm further along. Cheers!

Hej Abu,
Of course! I still reference the 6mm painting step-by-step guide that you put together a few years ago ;) I also remember that you had a project building a full size (1:1) battalion, correct?
Great looking elephants btw, I am very impressed with the wave design. Did you use a stencil? Can't wait to see more :D
Best,
LS

Do you have a link to the tutorial please.

Hi Peter - for the life of me I can’t recall where I posted that. Perhaps @LazyStudent can point you to the right location?

Hello Abu,
phantastic painting - these are absolutely top-notch! Interesting to see, how important well painted laces of tricornes are. I guess they are the most important part of the whole miniature. Thank you for showing mate!
Cheers

cool

I went back looking for it, but I'm concerned the photos might have been lost. It was somewhere in this 100+ page forum https://www.looseasswargamers.org.uk/viewtopic.php?t=457&start=590 (https://www.looseasswargamers.org.uk/viewtopic.php?t=457&start=590)

Does this make you a Sax-o-phone?
