Mike,...
Do me a favour please mate I am looking for reference material on Don Cossaks 1918-1920 if you find anything post it on this thread
Cheers !
 
Yes that is the very chap, Saul, he is a warriors 54mm he looked very intersting so I snapped him up for a tenner (y)

Thank you for those links mate :D
 
Saul Re the book,...can you see what he is holding in his right hand I cant really tell from the pictures

Hi again, the figure in the link is a 1/30th scale Del Prado metal figure:

As to what is in the figures right hand, well it doesn't look like a nagaika (whip)! :D I think it may be, look at this link for images of Kuban Cossacks:

Here are more images to help:

OK, you meant the right hand of the illustration and not the figurine.
:pinch:

Here is a scan of the book cover. It is indeed the nagaika (horse whip).

Click on image to go to a French web site about whips...



Regards and have fun at that site... they may have marital aids too!
:pp
 
OK heres a very quick update,....

The Coassak is pretty much done apart from his sword which shall involve a bit of work

I replaced the fence cos old heavy fingers snapped the resin one supplied with the kit right up :(

I made my own whip ( model one before your minds start running away ) :laugh: This still has to be glued flush against the fence

Groundwork next to fill out the base ( a great tip from the recent show I attended ) (y)

Enjoy,...

Groundwork update

Aves expoxy putty smoothed out with Alcohol ( hic ) and then an old toofbrush was use to add texture
`Fred Rex` small grass tufts were then placed here and there and gaps were then filled with Uncle Francois V static grass small root was added to simulate a small log
for the edging I snipped a tuft in half so I had a straight edge to work with and worked around the base until completion
Enjoy !
