I started collecting 15mm (Old Glory and Peter Pig) Russians years ago for a Russo-Japanese War project, even managed to get one battalion painted up, but the guy who was doing the Japanese completed his army long before I did and then seemed to vanish off the planet (Gavin, where are you?)<br /><br />The Old Glory figures are very nice but don't have any bayonets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why? Everyone knows that the Russians always kept the bayonets permanently fixed, to the point where some of them were (allegedly) rusted on.<br /><br />Anyway I've still got the figures and continue to work on them, occasionally. I'm now thinking of putting them up against some Blue Moon 15/18mm North West Frontier (NWF) models in a fictitious (but it could have so easily happened) campaign on India's NWF, all part of the 'Great Game'.<br /><br />Has anyone got any views of that ~ please feel free to contact me on ErnieFosker@talktalk.net with any comments (polite only, please).<br /><br />Also does anyone have any idea about the uniforms for the Russian artillery in 1904 - 05 period, please? What was the colour of their shoulder straps, collars etc, please?<br /><br />Thank you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-624716623905521990.post-53134100568936217352013-03-18T13:08:24.163+00:002013-03-18T13:08:24.163+00:00They look very nice and a good uniform guide too.They look very nice and a good uniform guide too.PanzerKaputhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05068595006963872643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-624716623905521990.post-10421947143506910152013-03-17T19:48:50.379+00:002013-03-17T19:48:50.379+00:00Very nice looking figures!
