AHPC12 - Donnybrook - Polish Cossacks 1683



Back to my Vienna 1683 project for today's post.

This post was originally posted on the Painting Challenge blog on 2nd February,
 I'm still playing catch up

Last week I was banished to my painting shed because I had Covid for the third time!!!. Mrs R works from home so I wasn't allowed in the house, (well only to only to use the loo). I was in there from 6.30am till 10 at night. I watched a lot of Netflix and Amazon Prime while painting lots of figures, while still holding the fort for work as the boss was on holiday, beer doesn't sell on its own you know!
I did get quite a bit painted, some of it will appear here today.


These 12 figures are from Barry Hilton's most excellent Warfare Miniatures!


Gotta say these are really nice figures and were a pleasure to paint up.


There's a wide variety of poses, with separate arms and top half of the body, so you can change the style and pose of the figure.


I gave one figure a longer spear changing it to a standard bearer.


There's my favourite figure, leaning back and firing with his pistol, with his Papakha on sat a jaunty angle.

  4. Great looking Cossacks, Ray! Wow! 3X with the bug, they must've each been a different variant? I would think natural immunity would be built after first time. Stay healthy!

  8. They look like great figures, and a top job on them. You'd be front page news if you'd had COVID three times here in Australia.
