Figure Comparison

Here, you see (from right to left) a plastic 1/72 Revell figure, a 25mm MiniFig, and and RSM 95 miniature. Slight differences exist between the three in size, proportion, and heft. But so long as the figures are not mixed within the same unit, there's no problem using them next to each other on the table top. And if you look carefully at the photos contained within Charge!, there are some variations in size between the Spencer Smiths on the one hand and the Stadden, Traditons, and WIllies on the other. Nevertheless, that's not really what catches your eye, right? No, it's the glorious and colorful big units that we notice rather than the precise height of the figures used. And that's good enough for me.

You also might want to remember the old trick of mounting the smaller figures on thick bases and the larger figures on thin bases.

Don't you mean "from left to right"? The plastic figure appears to be on the left...

The 18th century? What's the Fascination?

Hessian musketeers by All the King's Men Toy Soldiers of Snellville, Georgia, U.S.A. Just a quick post post today, but I thought the above question might be interesting food for thought. Obviously, there is an array of possible periods, theaters, and conflicts that might catch our eyes. But what is it about the era 1700-1799 -- either real, or imagined? Is it the commanders and politics? The fairly straightforward tactics? The myriad of uniforms and flags? The variety and scope of the conflicts? The patchwork of various and sundry petty states, (at least in Central Europe)? I'm very interested to learn your thoughts. Don't be a lurker! Please leave a comment -- or even two or three. Have a nice day everyone!

An Early July Hussar Update. . .

  Marginally neater in appearance with green bases, girths, and ivory horse markings added, but I need to neaten up some hooves now before moving onto the rest of the tack. W here in the world did June go? While I still ponder the answer to that question, how about a quick painting update on the first batch of 14 Minden Austrian hussars and Nadasdy? Good.  I'm glad we are of a like mind. Still on the sloppy side, but I've managed to move things along, painting the green bases, white (ivory) horse markings, and beginning the miles and miles of tack adorning the various horses.  I always like to begin with the girths spanning the horses' ribs which helped hold the saddles in place.  Even with the figures mounted individually on temporary painting bases, these can be kind of tricky to access, but there we are. I've also used various Army Painter washes (Mid-Brown and Strong Tone) as well as their Speed Paint (Grim Black) to make the manes and tails of the horses a bit m...
