The complete army
The original infantry Paskevitch's 26th division, nearly 40 years old. Originally painted for a big Borodino bash at the Bath Wargames Club.
The "second" division, a mix of Guards, Grenadiers and Militia
The guns, being Russian, you need a lot of these. Original Airfix conversions to the left.
The heavy cavalry, three regiments each of cuirassiers and dragoons.
Light cavalry, three and a half regiments, hussars, cahsseurs and lancers, plus a single guard cossack regiment. Plus a horse battery.
The cossacks
A few more pictures
Certainly need to paint a few more commanders.

That's truly impressive! I have in my lead pile some Hinton Hunt Prussian cuirassiers (painted as Russians)that I believe were once yours - did they take part in that Borodino fight?

Spectacular looking army. Maybe some day I'll get there.
Always nice to see the soldiers of the Tsar en masse. You have done a brilliant job Will. Very impressive

Wow! Almost scale 1:1... poor Bonnie!!
Wow, thanks for all the positive comments guys. I had felt that I needed to spend time rebasing the army before taking any pictures.
Ian, the Russian cavalry were a purchase after the Borodino game funded by a grant cheque (in the days when you were paid to go to university) you may have spotted the other odd Hinton Hunts still in the collection, standard bearers, artillerymen and limber riders.
Stunning sigth!!!
Best regards Michael
