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.

These are coming along very well indeed, a steady hand is as a steady hand does and it doing fine!

Happy New Year!
glad to see post posts about soldiers and battles rather than Santa and German cake - got rather stale if you pardon the pun.

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,

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!

Taking Stock Part II: The (As Yet) Unpainted but Planned OOB. . .

  Two companies of Reichsarmee grenadiers painted back in 2017 or 2018.  Minden Austrians of course. A lovely early autumn day here in the grand duchy.  Bright sunshine and a light breeze with cool temperatures will make for some very pleasant late afternoon lawn mowing in a little while.  But first a bit more discussion of painting plans for the future. Last time, I looked back at the various and sundry units, support troops, and civilians that I've managed to paint in the last 17 years as the Grand Duchy of Stollen project has developed.  So today, let's look into the seemingly bottomless Drawer 'o' Lead to my left for a clue to the new direction.  Be forewarned, it's not going to be a quick job getting everything painted and based, but there we are. The following plans are based on the pile of unpainted figures already here.  Any future purchases will be limited to small things that might be needed to fill out the envisioned units (the odd few officers mounted o

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 a
