I
have not posted much recently as I have had a long haul through
Russian SYW artillery and have now finished them – 16 batteries in
all. I will be posting pictures over the next few months, as and when
I get them based.
Meanwhile
on to Russian light infantry. There were 3 Pandour regiments and one
Jaeger. Dealing with the Pandours, uniform details are sketchy but
Viscovatov
says they wore black coats but Kronoskaf, while agreeing with that,
shows a Knotel plate with brown coats and also illustrates the 3rd
in light blue. So I will do all three and put them in all three of
the different coat colours without any particular evidence as to
which wore what.
Here
is the first regiment with it's grenadier company as well (on the
left of the pictures). There are only two small differences for the
grenadiers – a slightly different, and much larger, hat plate and a
waist box. Figures are from Foundry and these are a first for me –
the first time I have painted an 18th century unit in
sombre black. I also think that these are the best grenzer type
figures available in 28mm. You could use them for the Austrians too
if you removed the cap badge.
