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!

Fantastic- a credit to your endeavour Sir!

Excellent. They just need their first battle honour now.

Well done Stokes.
My own prefered cavalry regiment organisation is as you have presented here, with the extra squadron officer, and the regimental standard not acting as a squadron officer. Makes much more sense at 30 figures, all ranks.
Wishing you and the family a prosperous 2010.

A fine body of men, and excellent painting too! I hope they will serve well and help reverse the fortunes of Stollen arms.

Very impressive work - I really like the details on the painting steps you've provided in earlier posts. Those tips really help newcomers like me.

Have a happy new year

They should be very helpful in defending Stollen against those vile Zwickenaurers.

Terriffic work mate. Inspirational. Remarkably, the uniform is very similar to the Direktorats Gunning Grenadiere zu Pferde regiment. (On the table as metal-in-the-raw!).

OIIIIIIIO

'The Nap at the Palace' by Jose Triado Mayol N ot much in the way of hobby-related activity happening here in the Grand Duchy lately.  Sigh.  And no surprise there really since there are only so many hours in the day, only so much mental and physical energy to spare, and you sometimes simply just have to give in and know when to say, um, "When!"  A glass of wine and/or evening yoga by the hearth with the Grand Duchess (who has practiced for over 20 years), and then off into la-la land.  Zzzzzzzzz.   More immediately, I'm recovering, mentally speaking, from a grueling Friday in which I was involved with three (online) conference sessions, one right after the other, followed by a 90-minute meeting at the end of the day. Also virtual. My brain has been mush ever since, so an easy, completely unproductive Saturday watching intermittent snow fall outside (no accumulation however) and drinking coffee while the visiting handymen completed some repair work down h...

  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...
