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.

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.

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!

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...

Happy September 2nd!!!

    T his weekend, the question of what, precisely, constitutes an "imagination" came up in an online forum of which I am a part.  To be fair, the issue originates from further afield in a Facebook group that I am not a member of, but I weighed in with my own view.  The following was in response to the question posed yesterday (Sunday) morning by an exasperated member of my own rather more gentlemanly town square, who had been met with a strident response to information he shared about his (admirable) hobby activities on said FB group.  Here is, more or less, what I wrote: To my mind, the concept of imagi-nation(s) is a broad one.  It can range from historical refights or what-if scenarios/battles/campaigns between armies of a particular era, to completely made up combatants operating in a quasi-historical setting, to the rather generic red and blue forces of the Prussian Kriegspiel that examine a particular tactical problem, task, or exercise.   ...
