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”

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”
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”
Second bat., first regt.
Ive now finished a second unit of 1813 Prussians. As the first, these are Perry metal figures with an officer by Calpe miniatures. In about two months, I have painted 80 Prussians. In fact, I had hoped to have done even more. But with the practicalities of life taken into account, its a good number,Continue reading “Second bat., first regt.”
Another well-dressed man
Another Russian general has been sitting half-finished on my desk for a long time. There is no question, these guys dressed pretty smart. Its a good thing that the Russian army in the Napoleonic wars had rather a surplus of generals, because I have rather a good number of them at the moment. It didContinue reading “Another well-dressed man”
First battalions first
The first battalion is the first battalion, first East Prussian regt. Lets hope I dont lose interest and keep at it at least until I have enough to be worthwhile on the games table (that would be about a brigade, at minimum 4-5 infantry units).
More Prussians
Not a very good photo, and it was taken before the varnish was applied. But these are the command group for my first battalion of Prussian line infantry, 1st bat., 1st regt., 1st East Prussian. The figures are Perry metals, with an officer by Calpe miniatures. The Perry long coated infantry are very easy toContinue reading “More Prussians”
East Prussians
Some more Prussian infantry, this time its regular line infantry of the 1st regiment (1st East Prussians). The facings for this regiment is described as “Brick red”. Maybe that color ought to be more orange in tone, but i did them as orange-red. This give them a look which is close to some other regiments,Continue reading “East Prussians”
Russian general
I have started painting a few generals and officer figures, as I only had the bare minimum of what was needed to play. This one is a relatively recent release from Perry. Not entirely happy with my painting of the horse, but it will do.
