This time a couple of Russian redoubts...

Three layers of foam glued on two 6x6cm precut MDF bases

Making the slopes

Glueing the gabions

The figs were almost finished, gabions were drybrushed

Sand was glued on the redoubts...

... and here are the two finished redoubts!

The figures are WSS dismounted dragoons from Baccus. ;-)

I've been looking at them, over and over again, but still can't say how many poses these little guys have. Can you give an answer to that Benno? And maybe some close ups?

There are only three poses, a reloading, a firing, and a pointing figure. It's hard to see there are only three poses when they're standing in the redoubts, even in the flesh. I enlarged one of the pictures showing the strips with figures.

The pointing figure is actually the figure holding the horses in the dismounted dragoons set. Here's a picture of the set taken from the Baccus site (click on the picture to go to the range)

And here's a close up of the figs in one of the redoubts (remember these figs are 6mm!)

I was thinking of giving the pointing figure a halberd or something (since he's supposed to be an officer), but then the redoubts wouldn't fit in the figure trays I bought at CRISIS. :-)
