Happy Easter from the Grand Duchy of Stollen! As of this morning, Oberfeldwebel Klatschen is leading in the Golden Grenadier Painting Competition with 12 votes (35%). Imagine what the Oberfeldwebel could do if he had Hillary Clinton’s campaign budget at his disposal. Why, he might even be able to get unstuck from that Armory paint bottle!
M aking some early progress with Batch A of the Anhalt-Zerbst Regiment over the last several days/evenings. Nothing terribly exciting just yet, but the basic black, brown, and flesh areas are done as are the green bases, and gray undercoat. The latter two areas needed some careful retouching early in the week. Next up, the neck stocks. I might just do these in red for the enlisted men although some of my source material suggest they were black, but I always look for an excuse to shake things up a bit. Any errant splotches of red (or black) can be covered with another application of light gray before I move onto the next step. "Giddy up!" as one Cosmo Kramer might have said. -- Stokes

I hope Oberfeldwebel Klatschen wins the painting competition.
