Coming Soon: A Figure Comparison

Good morning everyone! Bill McHenry sent me a lovely e-mail (Thanks, Bill!) this morning in which he asked a favor. Would I please post some figure comparisons of my plastic mounted Revell and Zvezda figures along side the new Garrison miniatures that I purcahsed in June?

A brilliant idea, Bill, and why I didn't think of it myself, I don't know! But, I won't get to it until late this evening, following the usual daily stuff, a visit to the vetrinarian, band practice, and supper. I'll even sweeten the deal and add a mounted RSM, Spencer Smith, MiniFig, and Holger Eriksson each to the mix. So, we'll be able to get a good idea of how these various figures work together.

On a completely different note, drop by The Indras' myspace page if you haevn't done so in a while and have a look around. Here's the link: www.myspace.com/presentingtheindras . We were recently asked, out of the blue no less, to send a copy of our demo CD to the guy who runs the online Motorbilly Radio (www.live365.com/stations/motorbilly). Seems he wants to feature a song or two on his weekly program Go cat, go! Pretty cool for three middle-aged guys and a twenty-something graduate student guitarist, huh?

Ok, see you this evening with those figure comparison photos!

Hi Stokes,

As recommended I have sent off for 5 boxes of the zvesda Prussian grenadiers from that Wonderland site and I'll report as soon as they arrive.

Regards,
Guy

Sir,

Have you ever acquired any Scruby 25mm, I believe that they are comparable to Revell/Zvesda but have never had the pleasure of verifying for myself.

kind 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.   ...
