Being pretty much done with prep for the fall Wargames Among the Warplanes show, I'm finding it hard to focus on any one project for long, and I'm finding myself painting a few figures here and there without any rhyme or reason, just in order to be painting something. The mood took me to get some more historicals done, so I brought out my White Russians. The last time I worked on these was back in January, right around when Atticus passed away. I'm not sure if that played a role or not in me getting derailed away from the Back of Beyond, to be honest. But I'm glad to have them back on the table!
First things first, I added an officer to the Izhevsk Rifle Detachment:
I also got my Field Gun painted and assembled. As best I can tell, this is a 76mm divisional gun M1902, originally fielded during the Russo-Japanese War and continued to see use all the way up into WWII.
Getting the wheels on straight was the most challenging part. I wasn't sure about the green of the gun at first but it's definitely grown on me.
I've also started painted a half-dozen Cossacks to add some cavalry, and cleaned up, based and primed a second unit of White Russian infantry; if I get to them right away, that's great, if not, hey, it's about time I start priming towards the winter, right?
We'll count the gun as an extra figure, so this adds six to the painted side of things:
Figures Acquired in 2025: 127
Figures Painted in 2025: 138
