Ersatz Japanese Infantry

 I think I mentioned earlier the imbalance in numbers between the Russians and Japanese forces.  I have now reorganised all of the Japanese and ideally, I could do with another two or three battalions.  Finding 20mm Japanese for 1905 is near impossible and so I turned to converting some plastic figures.  Here I have paint converted some Airfix and Emhar WW1 figures:

I think that they will look OK from a few feet away!

Russo Japanese war 1905, Jacklex Russians

 Finally, I have finished basing the last of the Jacklex Russians.  Thee was a lot of them.  I still have some unpainted figures and a few odds and ends to sort out, but the bulk of the collection is now ready for action.

Here is an overview of the Russian army:

I'm working on some more Red Army troops and then back to the Great Plastics Revival - unless i get distracted again!

Jacklex Japanese Army

 As mentioned in my previous post, I have acquired a couple of 20mm Russo Japanese War armies.  I have been organising them to suit my rules and table layout.  The figures are by Jacklex and were used by the ABC Wargamers, having been produced by Jack Alexander.  The figures were recently available online for sale, but sadly the shop has now closed.

Here are the Japanese:

And a cavalry regiment:

The Russians are nearly finished too and I will share some pictures soon.
