(Re)basing artillery

At the moment, I am working hard to finish the Finnish (sic!) part of my Swedish force for 1808. The aim is three small brigades with 3-4 infantry units and one battery in each. The artillery lacks a few figures, one cannon and one limber set, the aim being three two-gun batteries with limbers. TheContinue reading “(Re)basing artillery”

Tavastehus regiment, 1st bat.

I finished the figures for this unit a few days ago, but have been working on the flags. I was very pleased with the king’s colors (livfana) I managed to paint. Unfortunately however, when finished it became clear that it was much larger than the company colors that I had done a long time ago.Continue reading “Tavastehus regiment, 1st bat.”

Nyland regt., 2d battalion

The latest addition is this 2d battalion of the Nyland regiment. In other words, the flags I recently painted have been mounted and Im surging ahead with the remodelling of the Finnish army into 24 man units. The figures are partly old ones rebased, and partly newly painted. Hopefully more to come soon. It mightContinue reading “Nyland regt., 2d battalion”

24th jägers

I am doing my best to get back into painting my 1808 figures again. This time I am doing some Russian jägers, the 24th regiment to be precise. I will need to paint quite a few more Russian figures, around 150 or so, before I have everything I need for the 1808 summer campaign. ThatContinue reading “24th jägers”

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”

Prussian fusiliers

Im starting to come back to painting, but find myself doing multiple projects at the same time: 1813 Prussians, 1808 Swedes/Finns and Russians, a little bit of WW2 plus various terrain pieces. I havent really been able to finish a complete unit, but at least I did half a battalion’s worth of Prussian fusiliers. TheseContinue reading “Prussian fusiliers”
