A New General and ADC. . .

Meet General Nikolai von Frobenius (left) and his faithful ADC Captain Erik Skjoldbjaerg (right). Von Frobenius, on hearing that his ancestral estate may be in danger of falling into Stagonian hands, has taken indefinite leave from his post in the Russian army and raced home to offer assistance to Stollen's General von Drosselmaier. He is accompanied by Captain Skjoldbjaerg, a Dane who served von Frobenius faithfully through the entire Seven Years' War.

Save for a couple of minor touch-ups with the paintbrush and two coats of Future/Klear acrylic floor finish, the two are ready to join General von Drosselmaier and Major von Kallweitschen outside of Saegewerkdorf. Perhaps von Frobenius will be able to alter the course of events on the battlefield?

What a dashing pair! Will inspire the troops to heroic (if rash?) deeds, no doubts.
Compliments,

PS: Off-topic, what were the results of the 'Favorite 18th C. movie' poll? My own votes were / are 'unconventional': 'The Scarlet Empress' and 'Brotherhood of the Wolf'.

Incredibly dynamic figures! You've done them justice, Stokes - a lovely couple of officers to add to your collection.

They certainly look like men of action! Let's hope they can put some "oopmh" into the Stollenenian efforts.

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...

  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...
