Västmanland and Hälsinge regiments completed!

Looking through my old posts, I realized that I hadnt published any pictures on the fine Swedish regiments I finished in time for this years’ Salute show. So, here they are in all their glory, the first and second battalions of the Hälsinge regiment and the first of the Västmanland regiment. The paint job onContinue reading “Västmanland and Hälsinge regiments completed!”

Russian uhlan 1808

Heres a first attempt at a Russian uhlan, of the Polish uhlan regiment to be exact. To get all uniform details right I had too ask around a bit, because the Osprey book I had and various other sources had conflicting information. As always, the 1808 campaign lies between two better covered periods (1805 andContinue reading “Russian uhlan 1808”

Swedish model 1804 6-pounder limber

I modified a Perry miniatures Austrian 6-pounder limber to look like a Swedish limber for the model 1804 gun that equipped what may well have been the best troops in the Swedish army. There are numerous accounts of the effective use of this gun and its modern limber. The gun itself was a great improvementContinue reading “Swedish model 1804 6-pounder limber”

Swedish infantry king’s colors, model 1766

My latest effort in painting infantry flags for my 1808 Swedish army is a livfana (king’s colors) of the model 1766 type. As in other armies of the period (e.g. Russian, Prussian, etc), Swedish infantry battalions carried a white flag with royal emblem in the first battalion. The first company would carry the king’s colorsContinue reading “Swedish infantry king’s colors, model 1766”

Finnish dragoons

Updated this year-old post with some new pictures and a bit of background. I am also testing out taking images against a black background. The miniatures are Perry 28mms. These are the Nyland and Karelia dragoons, the only Finnish cavalry regiments still active in 1808. In the early 18th century, there were three full cavalryContinue reading “Finnish dragoons”

Russian 6-pounder limber

This artillery limber set by (sold by Perry miniatures) has been sitting half-finished on my painting table for a very long time. I finally got round to painting it, although I must admit I settled for limited highlights and a very basic paint job. I find limbers very cool, impressive models as they often areContinue reading “Russian 6-pounder limber”

Västmanland regt continued

Its been a while since I started painting these, but now I only have 8 more to do until I have done every figure that will be attending the Salute show in London in a little more than a month’s time. I am bringing around 250 figures to Salute, as part of a joint effortContinue reading “Västmanland regt continued”

Pz 4 ausf H

Finished this Panzer IV ausführung H with zimmerit coating (a model typical of the year 1944), to remove at least one item from my queue of basecoated tanks. This one is an old Warlord Games resin kit. It is a nice kit, but the pieces connecting the side skirts to the hull did not fitContinue reading “Pz 4 ausf H”
