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!

You're right, the Future really does punch up the red. An impressive unit, Sir Stokes.

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

Here's an RSM Painting Update

Here's a picture illustrating my (S-L-O-W) progress with the second company of Stollen's Leib (Grand Duchess Sonja's Own) Grenadiers. You can see I'm doing things a bit differently this time, altering the painting process to keep it interesting basically. This evening, I'll do the white gaiters and, if that goes reasonably quickly, and time allows, the red breeches. Still lots to do, but I like the way these fine fellows are shaping up along side the completed 1st company that's standing in formation just off camera, to the left here. Until tonight then!

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...
