In a gesture of defiance towards the onward march of time and the ravages of aging on hand and eye I've embarked on a new/old project, the Crimean War. I've chosen to use mainly Great War Miniatures and have splashed out on the basics of British and Russian forces. This is the first unit to be completed, the Scots Fusilier Guards. More about this on the blog of course if you'd like to follow in more depth as the project hopefully evolves.
There is no point in being stupid if you don't show it!
I shall be watching this evolve with some interest, as I have always fancied a Crimean skirmish game project with greatcoated British and Russians scrapping on the Inkerman Heights and unequal forces blundering into each other in foggy conditions. Sadly, nobody seems to make British in greatcoats in 28mm.

Thank you - funnily enough, the range's sculptor, Aly Morrison, just told me the exact same thing via email.
So no excuse now for not going ahead.
Curses.....

In amongst the painting of the Coldstream Guards I have managed to fit in one base of the Royal Scots. There is more about the reason for their prompt appearance on my blog.
