Title: Request: Great Northern War Russians pics (GNR4)
Post by: MattW on 21 March 2015, 11:11:38 AM
Hi guys,

I'm after pics of the pikemen in felt hats- painted, unpainted, or whatever, just a good front-on shot.

Cheers!

Hi,

You might find these sits useful - absolutely heaps of uniform information :

I would also suggest the Osprey Poltava book by Angus Konstam :

(Usefully, this page has some uniform examples you can see.)

Think you're right but a lovely resource nonetheless; perhaps a moderator (not Matron, a decent one :D ) could jiggle things around a bit ;)

These are the Russian pikes in felt hats, Matt.

They are the ones on the left. They are old-style figures, but fairly easy to paint.

Oh well, I hope the links are useful & good luck with the project Matt.


Hertsblue - Absolutely superb figures.   The whole scene works so well together.

No, I draw my own flags using Drawplus and print them off on a little laser printer. Ridiculously simple when you get the hang of it.
