Hi this time I'm working on a small regiment of polish-lithuanian commonwealth cossack-style cavalry:

You are on a good beginning.

I have to be very careful painting 1/72. Any tips?

Ingenious bases you have also.

Best wishes and please, do keep us updated.

Thank you :)

Before priming, give them a warm soapy bath. For a very soft plastic minis add a bit of PVA glue to the priming paint.

Very nice! I've found Cossack-style cavalry to be an annoying unit type to convert, but you seem to have done quite well. I especially envy the armguards.

Thanks :) . Indeed, cossack-style cavalry are a tricky topic, especially when it comes to the armor.

Here's finished rotmistrz:

Pure artistry.

I am sure your work would be welcome on the game table and on the collector's shelf equally well.

Well done, indeed.

Thank you.
