Don't forget to vote in the GD of S Which Tabletop Battle Poll!

The black lining went a little more rapidly with this last batch than has been the case so far.  Hmmm. . .  Might my hand be getting just a wee bit steadier?

Here is a photograph of the mustering regiment.  I wonder if that's akin to moldering?

And finally, the final five figures, which makes it sound rather like an Agatha Christie novel, or something similar.

Happy New Year!

How do you paint those very neat straight black lines? My hands shake so much I'm in awe of your skill.
They look really great Stokes.

Thank you for the encouraging words, Men. Some days are better than others as far as the black lining goes. And there is often plenty touching up with the white afterwards to neaten up the black lines afterwards on those days when I've had too much coffee (or too little sleep). In no way does the black lining look that neat and straight after one pass. One more reason for working with small batches of figures.

Best Regards,

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.   ...
