Don't forget to vote. . . It's the right thing to do!


Only a week left for you to place your vote in the "Which Scenario Should They Fight in Early 2012?" poll.  Sittangbad remains in the lead with approximately 44% of the votes so far, but the river crossing scenario is running an increasingly close second.  Meanwhile, the armies of the Grand Duchy of Stollen and the Electorate of Zichenau are gathering and preparing for the march to the first tabletop battlefield.  But which one they march to and contest first has yet to be determined.  If you have not already done so, please be good enough to cast your vote before midnight on January 31st.  You can do so in the upper right-hand corner of the GD of S homepage.

With such a convincing argument I'd be embarrassed not to vote - so have done so!
Bravo, Peter! Well done. And thank you.

Best Regards,

I'd already voted but I do admire your choice of eye catching candy to tempt the unwary to your blog! You might like to see my art website for something similar and there will be more originals later in 2012.

My vote is now in.
Thank you Neil!
Very nice, Chris! I must admit, while I enjoy landscapes, the lady in the maid's apron with the feather duster is my favorite. It's got that 1940s-50s feel to it. Not too unlike some of the gals painted on the nose of American bombers during WWII.

If the candidates looked as good, it would be easier to vote!

Thanks Stokes, it was the cheeky ladies rather than the landscapes, I was referring to.

Stokes,

I got an email from someone asking about the compatibility of Minden and RSM95 CAVALRY.

I didn't notice such a photo in your various comparison photos . . . might you provide such . . . or at least comment upon it?

Jeff,

I'll snap a few photos of Minden and RSM cavalry later today and get them up for your friend to peruse.

Best Regards,

I've been loving your comparison photos. A lot of my current collection is from RAFM, fleshed out by some from Old Glory and some from Warrior. I'm eyeing some of the RSMs but I'm curious to see how they line in size to the RAFMs.

Cheers

Hi Peter,

I know the RAFM figures but don't have any in the collection to photograph beside any of the othrs in comparison. I think, however, that the RAFM are "true" 25mm, and so somewhat smaller than the RSM95 figures, which were originally marketed as true 1/60, or 30mm figures back in the early 80s. Still, as long as you keep the figures in distinct units, and maybe mount the smaller ones on thicker bases, it probably will not be something that sticks out too much on the tabletop.

Best Regards,

Stokes

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
