I present the Napoleonic Russian Novgorod Cuirassier regiment. Big men on big horses, with no one daring to call them "cissy" for their pink facing colour. The figures are from Elite miniatures, who make a lot of very nice miniatures.
I painted the black breast plate black and then used a pencil to mark in a sort of scuff mark along the ridge and then one on either side. This also functions as a highlight. Then I gloss varnished the breast plate and the other metal bits.
Lace 'n Big Hats is a diary of my lead adventures. The title comes from a remark of Martin Rapier, a member of TMP. Lace 'n Big Hats aggregates historical periods such as the Lace wars, Seven years war, Napoleonic Wars etc, which had this elaborate dress as one common factor. I like the phrase so much I am thinking of using it as a name for a rule set I am working on. My historical interests are actually a bit broader, so I will be throwing in bits and pieces from WW2 and even the Modern era.
