С Днём Победы!

 Деды в молодости:
Украинец, 1919 - 1993

 Немец, 1918 - 2006

На их поколение легла самая тяжелая ноша. Война для них началась с самого первого дня, в действующей армии. Немногим их сверстникам довелось выжить.

С благодарностью от потомков,
Вечная слава!
С Днем Победы!

Russian Infantry 1812. Work In Progress

Cossacks XVIc.

These are toys of my 3y.o. son. I painted them for training, to get some expirience. Miniatures are from russian Technolog.http://www.tehnolog.ru/product/bf.php

 Box art.

Comparison with 28mm warlord nap. Cossacks are 50-55mm tall.

The crews are painted

Last week I had time to finish my work on artillery crew. I could not do this half a year.
Also, just fotos.

I think, it's not a perfect job, but at least they are not bad :)
I plan to base them. I never did it, that's why it is a new challenge for me.
I've also retake my limber. Here it is:

Русская артиллерия 1812-1814. Артиллеристы и орудия готовы. Осталось сделать базы. Т.к. я в жизни не сделал ни одной базы, это будет интересный эксперимент.

Russische Artillerie 1812-1814. Artilleristen und Geschuetze sind fertig. Ich bin zufrieden mit Ergebnissen. Es fehlt noch Bases. Weil ich kein einziges Base in meinem Leben gemacht habe, das wird ein interessantes Experiment sein.

Russian Artillery 1812. Work In Progress

Painting of gunners

Painting of gunners advances not so fast. Sometimes I succeed in finding 30 minutes and lay on 1-2 colours :) 3 guns are painted, I've finished 2 gunners for the test purposes and now 10 more are in progress :)
Here is the way, they should look:

Although it is guards "Kanonier", the uniform is mostly the same.

First results

So, here are fotos of my painting work. I think, not bad for the first time.
Zvezda plastics, 1/72, russian artillery 1812.

1) The background should be ideologic correct. ;)

2) I have made many mistakes, but i've tried to make my best and be very accurate.

Painting style is very simple. I only learn to hold a brush correctly :)

I had no enough time to make  proper fotos. It's a lot of work with background, terrain, light, camera, settings and so on. May be later.

3 cannons are almost ready, the crews are in progress..
