The Rifle Brigade Finished

With the arrival of a good sized parcel of Great War miniatures last week, I have been frantically working through the Crimean War figures this week.

While I have made quite good progress, with 36 Russians and 6 line infantry figures completed, only one unit has been completed and based up - a battalion of the Rifle Brigade.


And what a way to come home from work on my birthday to find a parcel of Perry Miniatures Carlist Wars figures on the doorstep! This parcel included enough to make two more infantry battalions and included a pack of priests and monks that will fill out the ranks of the Carlist units very nicely.

With another order for Russian infantry, cavalry and artillery placed - another 86 figures and two guns - the lead mountain is building again. The end of this month should see quite a few more units marching off the painting table.
