Lovely work!

Have gone back to painting my WW1. Just finishing off some dismounted German ulans.

[janner]

Looking foward to seeing those, Helen.

I'll have another infantry battalion ready shortly 

[Helen]

Lovely news Janner. Will look forward in seeing them.

Nice to see that you are continuing your work on this topic. Very nice painting, per usual

Onto the next German battalion c.1914, 2nd battalion, 41st Infantry Regiment 'von bone' (5th East Prussians).

28mm figures from Great War Miniatures again,





More photos on the blog, as usual,

Lovely work Janner! I like the idea of the head swap for the officer. Will borrow that idea for my collection.

Keep up the great work.

[janner]

You set me off with the head swaps on your machine gun teams. I'm even swapping uhlan heads around now to mix things up.

Hopefully the comment Aly made about Dave's work on early war German cavalry means some mounted jagers and maybe a German limber... 

And I really wish someone would do some 'normal' Russian cavalry rather than yet more cossacks!

I take it none of the cavalry in Copplestone's Bolshevik range fits the bill?

Thank you Janner. I could have done a better job, but at the time I was just getting back into the hobby after a near two an a half year hiatus. Much improved in my skills since then  . Will be lovely to see some new additions from Dave. Hopefully in time some 1914 Belgians. Just finishing the decorating of the dismounted ulan's bases. Starting on some Belgian Carabiniers.

Not really, they are fine for RCW irregulars, but not Imperial Russians c.1914. Though there is one officer that I thought close enough to paint as a dismounted cavalry staff officer.

Thanks for the suggestion though.

@Janner - Just out of interest what colours to you use for your Russians?

@Moderator - It would great if there was a Painting WW1 Russians thread at the top of the Great War section similar to the ones for Brits, US and Germans.
