A Crimean War Project in 15mm
« on: July 08, 2023, 08:19:10 PM »
I’m refurbishing my 15mm Crimean War collection.  Progress is brisk.

The figures are from Minifigs and Irregular.

By the way, if anyone has information on Russian cavalry flags it would be greatly appreciated.

If you would like to see more here is the link.

I’m making steady progress in rejuvenating my Crimean War Project.  Now it is mainly Minifigs 15mm.  They are old but very nice figures, albeit single pose.  The command figures tend to liven up the units.

Flags continue to be from Maverick Miniatures.

My French contingent for the Crimean War is nearly done.  So far I have mainly used Minifigs 15mm. 

They have been around for a long time but are very elegant sculpts.  Single pose of course but I think the finished units look fine.

Those guys all look good.  In particular, I like the Highlanders...

A wonderful collection you are putting together. Always good to see MiniFigs 15mms arrayed for battle. Probably the most "toy soldier" looking of toy soldiers.

Thanks fellows.

I'm going to be trying out Barry Hilton's Republic to Empire with these lads.

For anyone thinking of gaming the Crimean War without too much outlay Pendraken have a nice 10mm range and Irregular Miniatures offer British, French, Russian and Turkish Armies for £35.00 each post free.

It is true about Minifigs, the definitive Toy Soldier look.  Irregular look more Campaign by contrast.

Awesome to see thank you.
My first period I collected in 15mm was Minifigs Crimean War in 1988.
They have been stop and go since.
I have been rebasing them to Volley and Bayonet.
Been meaning to get on with the last bits.

Thank you both.

I finished the French Artillery today.  Irregular Miniatures figures this time.  I think they look good.

Yes, I rebased too.  Something I rarely did when younger now I often find myself doing it.

Tomorrow I'll post my Turkish contingent.  Currently all from Minifigs.

My Turkish contingent for the Crimean War is nearly done.  Most of them are from Minifigs.  Old figures and very much in the Minifigs style.

I have a few from Irregular that I have yet to paint.  You can see their Bashi Bazouks on my blog.

Nice work.  I do like to see some Turks and yours look great.  :D  There's a great mix of nice uniforms in the Crimea.
