75mm Resin figure, Russian Grenadier officer 1812. I received this from IL miniatures in Germany within a week, well done to them.
All painting in acrylic and this is a great kit. I have broken down the figure for painting, drilling and fixing to tooth picks.

Just a bit slow as a new puppy is taking its toll on painting but he now sleeps by my side, keeping an eye on me.
Thank you for looking in Mike.

Cheers Nap, he is a pain sometimes as he often runs off with whatever I have dropped.
 
A big thankyou to svt on here for the information on the (shako) kiver.
You're welcome.

A little about the officer's scarf-belt: it is a mesh strip of white silk with silver thread, with three stripes of a mixture of black and orange silk threads. The tassels are silver, the fringe of the tassels is silver on the outside, the bundles of laces are colored inside (orange and black).

It may still be useful to you how the epaulettes of the officers of the grenadier regiments looked (but only the grenadier regiments, because the infantry and jaeger regiments, which had grenadier platoons in their compositions, had shoulder straps and epaulettes of their regiments, i.e. jaegers or infantry):
In the order of the War Minister No. 6 of February 3, 1811 (according to the Julian calendar), the grenadier regiments were withdrawn from the general infantry system of differences in the color of shoulder straps, instead of this, all grenadier regiments received red shoulder straps (officers epaulettes gold with a red field) and with capital italic letters, with a dot after the letters, the name of the regiment from a yellow cord (for officers, embroidery from gold threads). The letters were:
Лейб-Гренадерский (Life Grenadier) - Л.Г.
Санкт-Петербургский (St. Petersburgskiy) - С.П.
Графа Аракчева (of Count Arakcheyev) - Г.А.
Малороссийский (Malorussian) - М.Р.
Астраханский (Astrakhanskiy) - А.
Грузинский (Georgian) - Г.
Екатеринославский (Yekaterinoslavskiy) - Е.
Киевский (Kiyevskiy) - К.
Московский (Moskovskiy) - М.
Павловский (Pavlovskiy) - П.
Сибирский (Siberian) - С.
Таврический (Tavricheskiy) - Т.
Фанагорийский (Phanagorian) - Ф.
Херсонский (Khersonskiy) - Х.

As an example, the epaulette of a senior officer of the Moskovskiy Grenadier Regiment.

Thank you again svt I am about to paint the officers silver sash, a timely photo of the item. I will also add the letter to the epaulettes either M. or II.
Hopefully this will be finished soon
Thanks for looking in.
 
I almost missed this one, Bob, shame on me! That satchel bag has a really good texture to it and fine buckle work too. Ruck On, Bby, this is lookin good.
