Help! Foundry Russian Napoleonics

I wonder if any of you kind ladies or gents can help me out of a pickle?  No!  Not branston (although with cheddar there is nothing finer) but the Foundry have stitched me up!

A while back I bought some of their Napoleonic Russian regiments; I bought some fatigue cap in great coat, and some in fatigue cap. Guess what? They are exactly the bloomin same!  This means I didn't buy any in fatigue caps and uniform coat during the last sale and I urgently need some!

If you have some spare Russian infantry march attack in uniform coats and fatigue cap I would be most interested to hear from you.  I can either swap you for great coated figures, or full dress with shako.

I'd also be interested in getting hold of some Russian Grenadiers (not guard) in post 1812 kiwer, and French grenadiers pre-1812 in campaign uniform and bearskin.

If you can help drop me an email at: roger.murrow@mmc2100.co.uk

Thanks.

Victrix Corner

 I've assembled and painted three battalions (with Will's help) of Victrix French.

 These have been painted as Italians and Swiss.

 All in all I like'em, but not putting them together!

 These were the last unit I painted with the black undercoat method

 I had a varnish disaster with these so apologies if they arent very good

 The varnish went "white" and the figures needed retouching

 Quite a loss of detail - Julian wouldnt be happy with me!

 The Swiss came out really well.

 White undercoat though

 Will did the assembly on these hence they are well modelled.

 Italian skirmishers

 Hope you like'em.

Perry French line lancers

 Completed unit of 12 figures

 Nice figures

 Still have to get, and paint, the six rear rankers with swords

 I hated putting the pennants on - GMB

 .......unto the valley of death..............

 Oops!  Wrong war.

 The casuality figures are very nice

 Iannicks favourite horse - hope you enjoy the pictures

Blogger awards

I've received two nominations for these blogger award thingies.  I believe you have to inform people of seven things they dont know about you.  Err..............ok, here we go:

1. I am half Welsh, quarter Polish, and a quarter Danish.  So, you can tell I am a calm, laid back individual who does not paint himself blue, murder, pillage and charge tanks on horse back.
2. Through thirty years of rugby I have broken over fifty bones including seven nose breaks - same nose each time. 
3. I have played "Bar Crawl" Monopoly in New York. I lost.
4. The first time in Paris I managed to get seperated from the rest of my group, with no Francs, twenty words of French and no idea where I was. Fortunately there was an English bloke there who bought me drinks, paid for my cab across Paris when my group contacted me. His name was Don Letts the film maker and erstwhile member of Big Audi Dynamite.
5. I have an MBA for my sins.
6. I joned the Labour party when I was 15 and they wanted me become a councillor, have a poltical career in South Wales.  As soon as I could I "eimgrated" and went to university at Warwick!
7. On my 21st birthday I drank 21 pints of beer.

My nominees are:

Martin Kellys site
Clash of empires
Scott Macphees site
Paul Alba's beautiful AB Napoleonics site
Giles's site even though he is a tory git
