Napoleonic Russian Command replacements
Given I have decided to sell off my Hinton Hnt Russian commanders, I needed some more, so I bought and 3D printed some replacements and here they are.
Cavalry Division Commanders
Infantry Division Commanders plus an odd Brigadier
Corps or Army Commanders

Replacement Pavlov Grenadiers
I finished these a couple of days ago. They are my 3D printed resin replacements for my old Italeri Pavlov Grenadiers. There is only a single battalion instead of two as I have expanded the rest of the Grenadier brigade from two to three battalions. Also I decided to give the officers mitres rather than kiwers which some sources suggest. This might apply to the second/third batalions as they wore the fusilier mitre rather than the grenadier mitre.
I'm not sure about having mixed in the sloped arms pose, I may try something different for the rest of the army.
The old Pavlov's
They will go up for sale on ebay shortly

On the Workbench - November 2026
So it's all change, my family visit turned into a fortnight and by the end of it I am committed to move further up north next year, so last month's painting and modelling suffered and not much has changed
- Russian Pavlov Grenadiers - a single new unit to to complete my grenadier brigade - this just needs the static grass to be added
- Russian Generals and ADCs - I started these along with the Pavlov's - nearly completed painting
- Paint the wild west buildings acquired at Games Expo - I have only painted the clapboard so far
- A pair of German Jagdpanthers - just base coated and stowage added
- Replacement hulls for some Japanese tanks that exploded - again base coated, but having trouble matching the previous colours I used
- Russian Gaz bus - base coated
- Then work on 4 units of Spanish Infantry for the WSS

Other Partizan 2026
A selection of the images that caught my eye at the Other Partizan 2026
AWI - Eutaw Springs a scenario I have played many times with my rules - great fun Iwo Jime, I was really surprised to discover that all the LVTs were models (except one) including the waterline versions. Harrying the North - Normans v's Saxons and Vikings Nice longships, need to print some on my FDM printer WW2 Russia WW1/Russian Civil War Britain AD43 WW2 Arras 1940 WW2 Montcornet 1940 (lots of nice eye candy from Joe Bilton) and assistance for juniors interested in the game - well done Malplaquet 1709, something I had just been reading up on. Franco-Prussian War WW2 Sicily ( I really liked the AI generated backdrop of Mount Etna, based on the view from the location of the battle) Boondukye Saints (Seven Years War in India) - something that has always tempted me along with Wellesley's campaigns A small scale WW2 game - I liked the burnt out tank Gangs of Rome - must get around to sorting mine out! ECW The Glorious Revolution 1688 Reading - a what if game Seven Yars War Minden
