    Hi guys ,

    I am planning to do a simple conversion of Paul Blabers great sculpt here in 1st picture which was based on the plate in the 2nd

    To a Siberian Rifles Officer as in the Osprey book in lower left on last plate....

    Has anyone got good references n the Epaulettes he would have and also on the scroll on the headwear ?

    I have books ..somewhere in Russian which are so far behind my GA!

    Can anyone help without turning my model room into chaos!

    Cheers

    Hi Kevin,
    I can't help on the epaulettes, but I've come across the following photo of an Officer's uniform of the 12th East Siberian Rifle Regiment belonging to the Crown Prince Tsarevich Alexei.
    The detail isn't great, but is shows a liitle bit more of the scroll than your print.

    Using Google translate it's possible to get quite a lot of useful info here Kev. Select the year from the table and then hover over the name of the regiments and the illustrations change.
