Russian Cossack battalion

Hi, here's some progress on one of my 1/72 Cossack battalions! I finally managed to partially paint the horses. I've painted the horses in 4 different colors: black, brown, dark brown and dark grey. the riders are still on sprue and the other horses are waiting to be painted.


The battalion in battle formation.


Close up of some of the horses. I'm not sure about the white saddlebags but I needed some contrast? Any ideas?


Another close up. The saddles and strappings still need painting!

I hope you enjoy this new post!

Greets,

Great work I have been doing these myself this weekend! I think I used Khaki. Canvas tan, or Black would be fine as well I suspect.

I look forward to seeing more from this subject!

I used a marker pen to do reins, bridle, straps etc. Stain pens used to cover scratches on furniture are also good, especially for things like saddles and wooden rifle stocks

Thanks, will certainly try the marker pen method.
