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”

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”
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”
Finnish terrain

Recently, I did some typically Scandinavian fences (gärdesgårdar). I will need even more, as such fences were built aroundContinue reading “Finnish terrain”
A game, sort of…
This weekend I had the opportunity to try out my gaming boards and new terrain pieces with a couple of old friends. We played a bit of Black Powder but only did two rounds or so before we called it a night. Although the gaming didnt really take off, I was very pleased with theContinue reading “A game, sort of…”
Trees
A quick update on my terrain making. I mounted some trees -i recently bought from a Polish maker, https://drzewamodelarstwo.pl/en/ These trees are rather expensive, but at least they are in the EU, so no import fees (!), something one is becoming used to when it comes to hobby supplies these days. And considering the qualityContinue reading “Trees”
