Reply On Using Pendraken EW British For Additional Russians

I will hopefully try them soon but I am on an Austrian kick at the moment and I ran out of Russians except for a few Cossacks. Painted up the Wurtemburgers to see how they would look as Austrians. The mounted generals are great for Austrian mounted officers. Need to clip off the feathers on the general with binoculars. The infantry are kind of a mixed bag. I like the way the trumpeter turned out and will use him on an Austrian command stand though I clipped the kind of funky too large bar on the top of the trumpet. I have not painted the drummer yet but the drum looks awfully small and way out of scale. The running troops aren't really any better than the standard Austrian running pose and the rifle is too long and needs to be clipped. I like the infantry officers with drawn sword and will definitely use them. The infantry firing pose is good but not sure it fits in real well with the two standard poses which predominate my infantry stands. Need to add a little glue or green stuff to the end of his trousers so it conforms with the long trousers of the Austrian infantry. Now for the shocker. I pulled out the Austrian machine guns units. WHAT is up with the heads? Did the Russians have a voodoo doctor because they all suffer from a bad, bad case of shrunken heads. Clipped off those heads and did a head swap with the normal infantry. Since they will get some handling, I drilled a small hole for the green stuff to get it better anchored. Then some supper glue and add the head. After drying a watered down dose of tacky glue on the seams and waiting for painting. Looks like it was a successful operation. I will try to post some of these this weekend unless the wife has other plans for me.
