As I am away from my paint pots for a few days, but luckily am unusually free, I thought I’d just scribble down some thoughts that have been nagging in my head for some time. As long-time readers of this blog may have already understood, I like resin vehicle and tank models for 28 mmContinue reading “A lamentation on the decline and fall of resin tank models”

Panzer IV ausf G
A hastily painted Pz IV. I have many more armored vehicles to paint, so I need to speed paint these. This is an old resin kit from Warlord Games which sadly is no longer available.
A game of Chain of Command
We played scenario 4 (if I remember correctly) of the 29 let’s go campaign this evening. I played the German side. I used a motley selection of figures that I felt fit the Normandy setting relatively well. The game opened with me deploying a section in one of the central buildings. At first I thoughtContinue reading “A game of Chain of Command”
Boxing my brigades
I have recently organized my napoleonic figures in sturdy cardboard boxes. I have used a magnetic mat in the bottom and as the figures are all magnetized they stick very well to the box. Previously I stored these figures in Feldherr cases, with every single figure in an individual foam slot. Needless to say, thatContinue reading “Boxing my brigades”

In 2022, I will try to paint up enough miniatures to represent one particularContinue reading “Plans for 2022: napoleonics”
Some more french dragoons…
Pak 40 anti-tank gun
The figures are Warlord Games metal crew for an 88 mm and the gun is made by 1st Corps.
1812 Russian jägers
These are Perry and Foundry miniatures, metal jägers in skirmish poses. Hope to add many more of these.
Napoleonic French dragoons
A small squadron of very hastily painted French dragoons, plastics by Perry miniatures.
Finnish army of 1808
Perry miniatures have released a very nice range of Swedish/Finnish miniatures for the 1808-1809 war with Russia relatively recently. The figures are very nice and the campaign seems perfect for small scale skirmish wargaming, such as Sharp Practice or other systems. Of course I ordered some of these soon after they were released. So far,Continue reading “Finnish army of 1808”
