Blue Moon Russian 15mm WIP

An online friend of mine introduced me to General De Brigade rules for wargaming Napoleonic battles. I've started working on a Russian army for these rules. Figures for this army will be 8 per base so I decided to paint up one test base before completing the the remaining 3 of the battalion of 32 figures on 4 bases.

So for now, a quick shot of a WIP with the base coat nearly complete.  As unit will represent the 1st Battalion of the Pskov Regiment (1st Regt/7th Division 1812) it will have red shoulder straps while the pompom on the shako will be white with a green center as they are musketeers. I also wanted to experiment with the base coat color of the trousers. I normally use a light grey but wanted something a little less stark in transition. I decided on Americana Winter Blue. It may end up a little too light in which case I can try adding in a touch of light grey if needed.
