I think you get better with every sculpt.  You are extremely talented.

Thanks a lot for the kind words. If this topic interests you, I can tell you a little more.

First of all, the Cossacks did not wear spurs. The Cossacks had horses for personal use and they took care of them.

Thanks for the picture, based on that, in the 1849 Hungarian campaign the Cossack units were from the Kuban.

Starting to run out of words to describe your sculpts.

The Russian army in miniature is certainly receiving some dynamic reinforcements!

So cool!

I've been following this thread intently for months but it looks like I never commented before. This is all truly beautiful work and an exciting expansion to the period which is much under-rated.

I for one will be lashing out on the Cossacks in a significant way just for starters. This year I've been re-engaging in my Balaklava build and only decided to do the entire Russian army.

I'd love some Hussars and Ural Cossacks for obvious reasons. As an Aussie, I couldn't be happier that Eureka stepped up so I'll be in like Flynn.

Thanks for the interesting comment!!!

I never thought about giving up the Ural Cossacks and hussars. I'll put these topics in the queue. Nevertheless, in the Crimean War of 1854-1855 of the Eastern Company of 1853-1856, it was the hussars who received the first St. George Cross. The hussars' junction met a French colonel in charge of reconquest (if I'm interested, I'll find the name of this sheep). The detachments exchanged greetings and the Frenchman handed out a personal card to the commander of the hussars. Then the French were taken prisoner. It was sometimes a very gallant war.

Saboteurs. In those days, brave people gathered and went into the trenches of the enemy. They brought trophies and prisoners. The most famous was the sailor Peter Koshka. Armed with what they could. Sometimes bullets were poured into a small bag and with this bag they stunned enemy sentries on the head.

Nice work! I especially like the gun collector guy.
