With my Napoleonic French at a usable point I decided to switch to Russians. I am starting with grenadiers and the first unit is the Pavlovsk Grenadier regiment. This is the first and the third battalions and the figures are all Warlord Games 28mm. These are nice figures and are very easy to paint.
Great job! I have ordered the same units. It is nice to hear that they are easy to paint though I do not think that I will reach this level of painting! Can I ask how long it took to paint all of them?

Very nicely painted unit
Great job! I have ordered the same units. It is nice to hear that they are easy to paint though I do not think that I will reach this level of painting! Can I ask how long it took to paint all of them?
Nice work man, look forward to pushing them around on the tabletop!
Thanks for the comments! These two units took me about 20 days to paint. I averaged about 2.5 figures per day.
