Crimean War Project

One of my years projects was to be Black Powder Crimean War, at 1:72 scale. I've made a fairly decent start so far, amongst other things, and have the majority of the figures I'll need just waiting to be painted, but unfortunately, it's going to have to take a back seat for the time being. (Reasons will most likely be on an up coming post)

Anyway, the start that I have made can be seen below, and if I get chance to paint any more, I'll keep you all posted. Figures are all Strelets, bar the Guards officer on General Benticks command base.

Apologies for the poor / differing picture quality.

Austrian Napoleonics

I picked up a box of the Strelets 1:72 Allied Staff recently, and have had the opportunity to paint up the Austrian figures from it. This is a great set of figures, with 35 sculpts representing various characters from the Napoleonic era. The Austrian figures are: Emperor Francis, Archduke Charles, Karl Philipp Prince of Schwarzenberg, A General, 2 Senior Officers, an Office, an ADC, and 2 Infantry Officers.

 

 

 

I also finished up one of the British Officers as well:

Thanks again for looking :-)

ACW Revisted

Following on from my Flintloque post, I have also been busy trying to get through my backlog of existing figures. I finally managed to get some more of my American Civil War stuff painted up. I have painted these as the 20th Maine. I know the flags are a little different than they were historically, but the design was sculpted on, so I went with that. The main character figure does represent Col Chamberlain though, and comes from the Strelets ACW Union commanders box.

Figures are a mix of Imex, Strelets and Italeri

And there we have it. 40 more figures off the painting to do list!

If you like these, I will be placing them for auction on the Miniature Bids site in short order.

See you soon!

Saga Normans and Vikings

Howdy all!

Plastic Normans and Vikings from Strelets and and Zvezda. Initially painted for Saga, but could easily be used for Warhammer Ancients at a later date when I've added some more to them!

First up, the Normans:

And the Vikings:

Thanks a lot for looking. :-)

1:72 American Civil War

I've had a few plastic 1:72 miniatures painted for some time, and have now got them completed and photographed. Figures are a mix of Italeri, Strelets, Imex, and Accurate. These have seen a good bit of action during Fire and Fury and Black Powder games. They're great little figures! Pics below!

Confederate commanders Longstreet and Lee:
