North German Church Finished. . .

In this first photograph, you can see the newly finished church at left along with an older spired building of some type to its right along with a few mounted officers by RSM95 (ex-Pax Britannica) to provide a visual reference with regard to building dimensions.


 And here is another picture of the church.  This time taken, more or less, from the rear to show the rounded sanctuary (???), a feature that I am particularly pleased with.  Cutting the paper towel tube in half was not too difficult, but it was a pain in the neck to get the angles just right so that the five small pieces of "roof" fit together without an appreciable gaps between them.  I must have held my breath just right, because it worked the first time!


Just checking in quickly to provide two photos of the now finished North German Sankt Mariakirche.  As with many of my buildings and houses, the doors and windows are suggested rather than highly detailed renderings, but it's still apparent what they are supposed to be.  Very much in keeping with the old buildings made and used by the Charles Grant family through the years.


P.S.
That's General von Tschatschke (The Flamboyant Silesian) in the pink coat.

Buildings are looking great!

Looks very good, my friend. And two churches allows two towns if you need them, eh?

Nicely done!
Excellent. I'm a student of 18th C. linear warfare like any other chap, but I've never been able to explain adequately the difference between musketeers and fusiliers.

Or one of each sort in the same town.

Thank you, Men! Oh, and the difference between musketeers and fusiliers is all in the hat. The latter wore that funny, short mitre cap (at least in the Prussian army). The former wore a sort of black skull cap with a couple of large round ears and the words Mickey Mouse, or perhaps Disney World, emblazoned across the front. Needless to say, they put the far of God into their opponents as they emerged from the smoke on the battlefields of 18th Century Europe, from East Prussia to the Rhineland. A little known fact about Frederick's infantry, true, but it's in the history books!

Best Regards,

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!

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...

Having a "No Day". . .

  F or the almost 20 years that she lived in Mexico, one of my late mother's Irish friends frequently mentioned having a "No Day."  A day with no social obligations, chores, tasks, or other work that interfered with whatever personal interests took one's fancy on the day in question. Since today -- a gray and chilly Saturday -- is Mom's birthday, the Grand Duchess is out with friends, and the Young Master is ensconced on the sofa in the TV room with a cold, yours truly is taking his own such No Day.  I think Mom would approve of my decision to make the world go away, as the old Eddie Arnold song intoned, even if only for a little while. So, I will spend Saturday afternoon focused on that first squadron and small regimental staff of Eureka Saxon cuirassiers.  These have stood waiting  untouched over on the painting table for almost three weeks while we skied and otherwise gadded about with snowy, winter outdoor activities. I hope to share a painting update Sunday...
