Low Countries muster goes East

In preparation of Anglo/Russian invasion (1799) games set in the Noord-Holland region of the Netherlands, I try to gradually collect more and more troops that can play their part in that. Inspired by Massimo's tip on the use of recast Charbens mitre cap grenadiers (TSC, USA) I tried the looks of a 18th century Russian grenadiers on one of my Jean Hoeflers' Prussian grenadier of the Guard, foot figures.
Enthusiastic by the looks of the first figure I completed an About Bonapart style battalion of eight. An officer was engineered from an unknown brand figure with a Jean mitre cap on top. There's a musician (drums) coming up.

Figures were firstly washed intensely in a high grade detergent ('miracle blue' or 'blue wonder'). This removes paint layers as well! Dryed and sprayed with a plastic primer followed some minutes later by a light coat of GW skull white paint spray. Subsequently acrylic paint layers were build up to this result.

Photographs (Canon XM-2 3CCD video camera in 'card' position) were taken outdoors against a natural backdrop in my garden. As a source for the uniform colors I used the below illustration. I'm aware my officer has a somewhat awkward way of dressing given the period: I'm fine with that.

Known sources of grenadiers drums show them with wooden or brass kettles, rope tensioned skins and white hoops with black 'dog toothing'. Minor adaptation to a British grenadier drummer did the job here.
