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.”
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”
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”
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”
