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”
Tavastehus 2d battalion
Continuing with my Finnish troops, I managed to paint the 2d battalion of the Tavastehus regt. Flags and basing still to be done. Im nearing the fin(n)ish line now, with almost all grey-uniformed units done. The only variation compared to the Perry figures out-of-the-boxes here is the officer, whose body has been taken from oneContinue reading “Tavastehus 2d battalion”
Russian progress
After having painted quite a few Swedes/Finns for a while, I switched over to give the Russian army some TLC. I painted the very few figures that were still missing to complete the 3rd battalion, 3rd jäger regiment and the 1st battalion of the Petrovsk regt. These have been standing almost finished for much tooContinue reading “Russian progress”
(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.”
