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”
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.”
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”
Some more Finnish jägers
Just finished this set of 16 figures of Finnish jägers. The uniform corresponds to the Nyland, Björneborg or Åbo regiments. Nyland and Björneborg wore light blue facings, Åbo dark blue. To make things simple, I chose a mid-blue color, and will use them to represent any of these regiments as I need them to! TheContinue reading “Some more Finnish jägers”
