Over the Hills and Faraway. . .

Making my way around the table, gluing the various layers in place, and using various Charles S. Grant titles to hold everything in place until dry.  Nice, weighty books as useful for holding sections of foamcore board flat while the glue dries as they are interesting and inspirational readsAlso appropriate for hills inspired by those seen in these various Wargaming in History titles and Wargamers' Annuals during the last several years.  David Chandler titles would have been overkill.  They're also less convenient being on a lower bookshelf.

Cue the Led Zeppelin!  Painting in the same bright green as the tabletop to follow in the next couple of days.

Looks good. What are you using for your hill material? It looks like foam core.

Hi Dave! Thanks for your question. Yes, plain old cheap foamcore purchased in bulk at half off in the local Dollar Store a couple of years ago. Cuts like a charm with a sharp hobby knife blade.

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!

'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...
