Horse Change

I´ve never been happy with the Copplestone horses. So I mounted this Cossack on a (slightly) converted ACW horse. I also spent more time on the horse.

Historical accuracy


I´ve been told on sd-forum that the shoulder boardrs are wrong. I painted Infantry patches, artellery is black piped red with a yellow K and crossed gun barrels. I corrected that.

Heres a link with examples of patches from koz10 (thanks mate)

Kornilovs get some fire power


As I can`t motivate myself to paint horses at the momment, I finished this cannon. I plan to add two more cannons and an ammunition waggon one day, to create a small battery like Imrie did with his french. I can´t decide what to do next, church or cavalry...
