Painting is quite slow at the moment, but I did finish some chevaux de frise and gabions. These are metal models made by League of Augsburg/Warfare miniatures https://www.leagueofaugsburg.com/ They are well detailed and were a fun detail to do. They are designed for the early 18th or 17th century, but these things changed very littleContinue reading “Chevaux de frise and gabions”

Skirmishers
Continuing to re-base my Napoleonic figures. Ive now done almost everything, even down to these old figures. First off are the Warlord Games 95th rifles, some of the first Napoleonics I ever painted. Ive had some ideas about doing a brigade or two of British to use for a “what if?”-scenario for the Finnish war.Continue reading “Skirmishers”
Finnish cavalry (once again)
In the past couple of weeks, Ive been re-basing my 28mm Napoleonic figures. The Finnish army was already re-based, apart from the cavalry. I waited with the re-basing as I was planning to add more figures anyway. Now that Ive painted some additional figures to these, getting them up to 9 men per unit, itContinue reading “Finnish cavalry (once again)”
Prussian brigade, half-way
As my inaugural post for the new year, here are some pictures of my 1813 Prussians of which about half of the infantry is now done. Ive been busy completing the basing of miniatures I have painted during the past year or two. It has turned out that I had accrued quite a mass ofContinue reading “Prussian brigade, half-way”
Russian division 1808
As I have already mentioned in previous posts, I have been working on re-basing my Russians for the 1808 setting. This has included expanding some of the units, so that all line infantry is in 24 man units, and the jäger units of 16. I have now come as far as rebasing all of theContinue reading “Russian division 1808”
Russian progress
I have been working on rebasing my 1808 Russians for way too long. But now everything is at least mounted on the new type of bases and I have applied the Vallejo texture goo, which is the more time consuming part of the process. After that I will drybrush the bases and paint the edges.Continue reading “Russian progress”
Prussian skirmishers
Having been away for a bit, I havent painted much lately. These skirmishers for my Prussians required little effort to finish and are an important element in the brigade. In fact I will need a few more.
1st bat., 2d East Prussians (IR3)
Ive slowed the pace of painting lately. Partly because of work, partly Ive just been tired. However, glad to be back into it. As I have detailed in earlier posts, the Prussians are speed painted to the extent that the time taken per figure is a lot less than with my previous projects. This isContinue reading “1st bat., 2d East Prussians (IR3)”
The Finnish army of 1808
There it is. Pretty much the whole of the core, Finnish part of the Swedish 1808 army, the 2d-4th brigades (the understrength 1st brigade effectively being included in 2d brigade). Each brigade is around 100 miniatures strong. This roughly corresponds to at least a 20:1 ratio as compared to the historical forces. Below the threeContinue reading “The Finnish army of 1808”
Another battalion completed
Nothing very exciting to report, really. On the painting front things have been very slow lately – we have been moving house and I have barely touched the stuff. I did manage to paint a couple of more flags and do some basing. The Björneborg 2d battalion is interesting in that it is the onlyContinue reading “Another battalion completed”
