A Red Facings Update. . .

Here is a panoramic shot (Can you tell I'm in the midst of teaching a film course?) of the sixteen infantry privates currently in progress.


Managed to work in a couple of paiting sessions this afternoon and this evening after dinner, to finish the red facings and turnbacks of the second batch of Huzzah figures. Still a way to go until completion, but they are starting to fall into place.

And here is our familiar friend, now sporting snazzy red facings and turnbacks before the trusty weather radio.

Looking very fine. Do you fine line with black or are you leaving some of the black undercoat showing?

Another fine-looking figure, sir. But when might we see another engagement on your table top?

Thanks for you kind words everyone! Paul, I use black undercoat and take care to let some of it show through at appropriate places for added definition and depth. Jeff, I'm hoping to stage a solo Tabletop Teaser in June. There have been several good ones recently in Battlegames and a couple of recent CSG titles that I hope to try.

Best Regards,

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!

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!

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...
