The Golden Grenadier Painting Competition

Gentlemen (and perhaps Ladies),

If you're tooling around here with nothing much to do in the next few days or so, repair forthwith to the "CAMRA, SOSAC, & Olmec Derision Society" Yahoo discussion group.

Sign in (join if you haven't yet done so), click on 'Polls' over on the left side of the screen, and then on 'Vote for Your TWO Favorite Models'. The five figures entered will show up, and you can decide on the two you like best and submit your votes.

The web address is:

http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/CAMRA_SOSAC_Olmec_Derision_Society/

Of course, you'll notice that Oberfeldwebel Klatschen is participating in the contest, and I hope some of you might cast your vote for him. But let your conscience, figure, and painting tastes guide you in your decision. Since the entry deadline was extended twice, I'm unsure how many days are left for voting. It's probably a good idea if you do this sooner rather than later though.

In the meanwhile, stay tuned here for more photos of Stollen's Leib (Grand Duchess Sonja's Own) Grenadiers. It shouldn't be too many more days before the first two-dozen figures are complete in their painting, and I can move onto the next batch of 19 figures -- Company B.

Well, as I write this, Oberfeldwebel Klatschen is leading the Golden Grenadier Contest by a single vote.

Keepin' an Eye on the World Going By My Window . .

'The Nap at the Palace' by Jose Triado Mayol N ot much in the way of hobby-related activity happening here in the Grand Duchy lately.  Sigh.  And no surprise there really since there are only so many hours in the day, only so much mental and physical energy to spare, and you sometimes simply just have to give in and know when to say, um, "When!"  A glass of wine and/or evening yoga by the hearth with the Grand Duchess (who has practiced for over 20 years), and then off into la-la land.  Zzzzzzzzz.   More immediately, I'm recovering, mentally speaking, from a grueling Friday in which I was involved with three (online) conference sessions, one right after the other, followed by a 90-minute meeting at the end of the day. Also virtual. My brain has been mush ever since, so an easy, completely unproductive Saturday watching intermittent snow fall outside (no accumulation however) and drinking coffee while the visiting handymen completed some repair work down h...

And It's the End of September!!!

  Saxony's Ploetz Cuirassiers, an illustration lifted from the Kronoskaf website, which has thus far guided my spectacularly glacial painting of 30 28mm Eureka Saxon cuirassiers purchased all the way back in October 2016. A gray, cool Saturday here in Mid-Michigan with rain in the forecast. The Grand Duchess is away at a conference, so it's just "The Boys" here at home. The Young Master (almost 15) has retreated to his room for something or other following breakfast while I have stolen back down here to Zum Stollenkeller (masquerading as my office) with a second mug of coffee and both cats comfortably ensconced nearby. Enjoying the late morning and still in my pajamas! Not much planned for today beyond designing a couple of promotional flyers for workshops my department is presenting (small parties we will throw?) in October and November.  With maybe a bit of on the next podcast script. More important,  I am toying with the idea of returning for an hour or...
