The last three units are now done. These are 4 cohorts
of the Saint Petersburg Opolochenie, the converged Cuirassier regiment and the
double strength Polish Uhlan regiment.
Painting these took less time than researching online
their uniform details. With three different sources I was able to piece
together the uniform for the Polish Uhlan regiment; most of this being text
than illustrations. The converged Cuirassier regiment represented three
different regiments and I decided to keep things simple and plump for a generic
paint job; in place of three different uniforms, I chose one.
The Opolochenie were a breeze to do, but the challenge
was to add a bit of sparkle to an otherwise mundane colour scheme; grey.
I like the poses for them and though classed as
militia, they did sterling work at the Second Battle of Polotsk.
In total, 18 elements are added to Wittgenstein’s 1st
corp. Next step will take care of additional units for Oudinot’s II Corps,
namely St. Cyr’s Bavarian corps (VI).
Cheers,

Nice looking figures...
Phil.
The Old Glory 15s do have character.
The Bavarian infantry have four or five poses in a pack plus some "special" figure; one marching figure, bareheaded and holding his helmet at his side.
Quite nice.
