We Have a Winner!!!

Oberfeldwebel Lebrecht Klatschen has won the Golden Grenadier Painting Competition, taking 34% of the votes cast!!! I've just received the breaking news from the administrator of the contest.

Thanks to all of you who cast your votes for the Oberfeldwebel. He'll enjoy an extra large stein of Turkish coffee and a clay pipe of the best Virginia tobacco with his junior N.C.O.'s at their favorite haunt, 'Der Andere Schuh' (the other shoe) this evening. Once the e-certificate arrives in the Grand Duchy of Stollen, I'll share it here. Thank you again, and a hearty thank you also to the other painters who partook in the contest. Their entries and painting skills are certainly also noteworthy. Well done men!

Glad you won it! My entry got a measly one vote, lol!

Your e-trophy will probably arrive after the weekend, as I am quite buisy at the moment....!

Well done.

Next time i'll try and enter too although I don't have many figures from the "approved" list of manufacturers that will mean buying more toys (what a lame excuse!!).

Perhaps by the next contest someone from the Principality of Saxe-Bearstein will be willing to journey to the judging field. Of course this depends upon when that will be.

Congratulations to the Grand Duchy of Stollen!

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.   ...
