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
Just hope I get these done now as year end is rapidly approaching!
