Trying to keep the momentum going with my napoleonic stuff. The first battalion of the Petrovsk regiment is soon to be finished at 20 figures. This regiment served in many of the battles in Finland, and would really have been a good place to start the whole project. They wear a uniform which is similarContinue reading “Petrovsk regt WIP”

Colonel, Tavastehus regiment, 1808
A further addition to my Swedish collection is this colonel of the Tavastehus (Häme) regiment, based in central Finland. The figure is a slightly altered Bavarian colonel with a Swedish head. The Tavastehus regiment itself is also in the works…
Swedish Horse Lifeguards, 1808
This is a first test figure which is meant to represent the Swedish Horse Lifeguard regiment as they would have appeared in 1808. First, here are some images of the completed and fully painted model. As many of you know, Swedish uniforms of this particular period changed several times. The changes came in quick succession,Continue reading “Swedish Horse Lifeguards, 1808”
Some more Finnish jägers
Just finished this set of 16 figures of Finnish jägers. The uniform corresponds to the Nyland, Björneborg or Åbo regiments. Nyland and Björneborg wore light blue facings, Åbo dark blue. To make things simple, I chose a mid-blue color, and will use them to represent any of these regiments as I need them to! TheContinue reading “Some more Finnish jägers”
Three more…
Some more Germans, this time they are the last ones remaining on my desk, so hopefully I will be doing other stuff for a while. These three figures were made from one Foundry figure with a Warlord head, one Perry figure with Warlord head and one Perry figure with its original head still intact. IContinue reading “Three more…”
Battle for the crossroads
Last night we played another game of Black Powder set in 1808 using the Russian and Swedish armies. This game was not based on any sort of historical event, instead I hastily devised a generic scenario. The idea was that one out three Swedish brigades had captured a strategicly important crossroads, while all three RussianContinue reading “Battle for the crossroads”
Yet another German…
This one is a Perry DAK figure with no modifications, just painted in regular German colors, the tunic as an early war model. Rivet counters will probably find fault with some of the kit, but it looks convincing enough to me.
And one more…
At the moment one figure at a time is about what I can manage. This one is a Perry miniatures Afrika Korps NCO with a Warlord head, and painted as GD at Kursk. Unfortunately the magazine of the SMG wasnt perfectly cast, and that shows now that the figure is painted. I really should andContinue reading “And one more…”
Another German…
Just one more Foundry German, again this one has a Warlord Games head. These figures are exactly what you want in ww2 Germans for games like CoC or BA; they wear the high boots, but not the gas mask bag on the chest as some other makers versions. This means that they have the lookContinue reading “Another German…”
German officer
Have had very little time over for painting lately, but managed to do this German officer. I painted him in a early war style uniform but a 1943 style of camo helmet cover. I have prepared a few more figures in a similar style and hopefully will be able to finish them in the comingContinue reading “German officer”
