They cut quite a striking figure in their green/ white/ red uniforms and the funny hats... I really never got to like the fashion of that time but yours look great.<br />I also like the character you managed to instill to these figures. As it befits real officers some of them definitely look quite smug.Moiterei_1984https://www.blogger.com/profile/13808567081733803572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391427662737871662.post-73707856036263430282015-01-23T13:03:41.516-06:002015-01-23T13:03:41.516-06:00Great painting work; they are fantastic!Great painting work; they are fantastic!Juan MancheƱohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07761893327024556857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391427662737871662.post-53072231841924564312015-01-23T12:55:57.112-06:002015-01-23T12:55:57.112-06:00This is a terrific entry, Michael.

Looks fantastic, and putting a mounted grenadier officer in the middle is very smart too.

Clearly this is one of those cadet training regiments were the privates all hold nominal officer rank and will go on to be Lieutenants in line regiments after learning their trade in this "guard battalion" and as such wear officers regalia while carrying out a privates duty. I even think the Russians had such a unit at one point. The look great and I would call ordering all officers a Happy Accident.
