East Tradgardland Troops

East Tradgardland tends to look east in many ways. For example the samovar in popular here and nowhere else in Tradgardland. Here in the photos are the Fourth and Fifth East Tradgardland regiments. As can be seen their uniforms show a distinct Russian look to them-

      Thank you Stokes! I do like the Potemkin uniforms and their Swedish counterparts. David’s flags have worked out so well for this project.

      It is a pleasure to use the flags David. The Tradgardlanders are fortunate to rally round such glorious colours.

    Now here's a conversion project for you. Can you make a regimental samovar carrier or two, along the lines of the Jannisary kettle?

      That sounds a fun idea, I really like that. I looked on line to see if a dolls house one would work as an oversized 28mm one. Sadly they are quite expensive so perhaps scratch building is the way fowward with this…

    Dear Alan, Gorgeous looking units, love the eastern regional flavour, they will serve Tradgardland with honour on the tabletop. Quinn
