Over the summer, I have prepared and now finally painted some more terrain pieces. I have added more Scandinavian style fences to my collection. They are 20 cms long and I did seven in one batch, i e 140 cms. I now have something like 3-4 meters worth of these with the ones I haveContinue reading “More rustic terrain”

Dusting off the BEF (updated with better pictures)
I added some higher quality pictures of the figures, shot with a proper camera. In part, it also reveals some slight mistakes I made on these back in the day… Having somewhat come back to Bolt Action thanks to a recent tournament, I dug up my old British figures. The miniatures are mostly Warlord GamesContinue reading “Dusting off the BEF (updated with better pictures)”
Warlord Games Japanese (old set)
During the holidays, I was able to grab a set of Warlord Games plastic WW2 Japanese. They were offered at quite a discount, as they are being replaced by a new set. I really like the old figures, and I already have several of the old metal sets, both infantry, officers and support weapons. AContinue reading “Warlord Games Japanese (old set)”
Some field fortifications
Ive recently finished these resin pieces by a maker called Baueda. They are very nicely detailed and of great casting quality. I do have some more fortification type pieces in the pipeline, so Ill do some more hopefully soon. These were easy enough to paint, with the sawn off short ends of the logs requiringContinue reading “Some field fortifications”
Germans with Panzerfausts
For the first time in a long while Ive come back to the WW2 stuff. This time some Panzerfaust-armed Germans. Until now I have only had two such figures, and my focus was on the earlier stages of the war, before the PF was introduced. However, in order to be able to play the laterContinue reading “Germans with Panzerfausts”
Finnish terrain
As I am painting a lot of figures for the Finnish war, with the aim of recreating some of the battles of the summer of 1808, there are a few specific terrain items that I need. Recently, I did some typically Scandinavian fences (gärdesgårdar). I will need even more, as such fences were built aroundContinue reading “Finnish terrain”
Another Grand Manner building…
I have been busy continuing with my work on the resin buildings I acquired from Grand Manner shortly before they closed down. This time it is some kind of cottage. A beautiful model, but I do wonder if the designer hasnt forgotten a chimney? Even so, the model was a pleasure to paint, with noContinue reading “Another Grand Manner building…”
A small re-start
As I wrote in my last post, I havent been doing much painting lately for various reasons. In the last week though, I have been able to get back into it to some extent. I base-coated around 70 figures, all of them Prussians: a third musketeer battalion and a fusilier battalion, plus some skirmishers andContinue reading “A small re-start”
Buildings
Some recent paint work, a few Belgian farm houses by Hovels model buildings. Excellent detail on these resin models, and a somewhat underappreciated maker. Prices are as low as mdf, which in itself is remarkable.
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…”
