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”
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…”
Prussian barn
The first of the Grand Manner buildings Ive managed to finish is the humble (although quite large) Prussian barn. As I think you can see from the images above, the model is perfectly detailed, with excellent looking wooded frame and straw roof. I should also say that this model required next to no preparation atContinue reading “Prussian barn”
Rebasing the Swedes
It had to happen sooner or later. Until now I have based my 1808 Swedes (and Russians) on 20mm round bases mounted in slotted movement trays. Every single figure even has a magnet connecting it to the movement tray. The problem is that even the smallest movement trays are too big. There is no wayContinue reading “Rebasing the Swedes”
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”
Rebased Russians
Havent posted anything in a while now – our apartement is being renovated and we have been living with relatives for more than a month. No painting! But as I hadnt posted this pic yet I thought I might as well do it. Its the first of two 32-man battalions made from my old WarlordContinue reading “Rebased Russians”
