Thank you all!

Friends. Wargamers. Miniature Collectors. Imaginary Country Enthusiasts. Loyal subjects. It seems there have been about 1000 visitors to the Grand Duchy of Stollen -- 1768 since adding a counter several weeks ago. Thanks to everyone who regularly drops by, especially those of you who leave suggestions and comments behind. Feedback is always a good thing. Stay tuned in future weeks. There's much more to come!

Irwin Amadeus II -- Grand Duke of Stollen

Super!

Where does one get a 'counter' may I ask?

Congratulations!

I check your blog (among a few others) every day to see what's new. I want to read more about Stollen and its history.

Hi Murdock,

Free counters are easy to find all over the web, and it's fairly easy to attach one to your blog or website. mine is www.free-traffic-counter.com. Enjoy!

I enjoy the blog and pop in just about every day - except weekends when I try not to use the pc at all (eats into the painting time).

Keep it up!
I agree about the PC eating into time for other things, painting and etc. Despite my best intensions, I usally end of looking at it (not actually accomplishing anything!) during the weekends unless I make a conscious effort NOT to turn it on. Seems surfing the web has become my substitue for TV, which I abandoned completely and with no regrets in January 2002.

Best Regards,

Stokes Schwartz

The Eventual Anhalt-Zerbst Regiment. . .

  The Anhalt-Zerbst regiment musters in the drill square to sort themselves into platoons and companies during the coming weeks  Fall maneuvers if you will. A large dose of real life the last few days with the start of classes next Monday, various preparatory meetings, and finishing up a few other things this week.  But, I managed to sort out 60 or so Minden Austrian infantry from the pile and get 'em stuck to temporary painting bases.  Must carefully drill out the hands of several NCOs for flagpoles and pole arms this weekend before the usual basecoat.   I'm thinking of mixing the usual white gesso with the usual light gray to kill two birds with one stone so to speak.  Applying both base- and undercoat in one fell swoop as my grandmother used to say. In the meantime, the recently finished squadron of Saxon cuirassiers has been placed carefully in one of the clear acrylic boxes on my shelves until I have the suitable flag to affix.   -- Sto...

Presenting the Anspach-Bayreuth Kuirassiere!!!

Here they are, with the rearmost nine figures still drying, three squadrons of the Anspach-Bayreuth Kuirassiere, now in the service of the Grand Duchy of Stollen. And now, it's onto that artillery!

Continued Regional Map Revisions. . .

F ooled around a bit more with the revised map just before and after dinner this evening, using the Fotor app to reinsert missing text .  I also removed a few other things using the 'Magic Eraser' function, which works surprisingly well.  Now, we're getting somewhere.  I just have to figure out how to ensure that the text is all a uniform font style and maybe figure out a way to add a few bunches of trees to suggest forested areas,  Ninja AI is not always entirely cooperative to the tune of "I'm sorry Dave.  I can't do that." -- Stokes
