Saturday, 25 July 2009. Will be working in close cooperation with the. This unit has a unique and interesting- if little known- history. Reinhardt Avenberg von Loseth-Pfaffenhofen, Hereditary Duke of Avenberg-Pfaffenhofen. Held lands in Austria bordering on the Tyrol and Bavaria, and his family had faithfully served the cause of the Habsburg monarchy for centuries. Much of his considerable wealth came from the silver mines that were located in this small, but prosperous, enclave. This was uniformed in th...

Wednesday, 23 December 2009. Kleine Krieg- The Encounter at Kartoffelkopf. It comes to wargaming, I realize that I have always tended to enjoy the more modest, smaller engagements rather than the larger set-piece battles with no flanks and hub-to-hub artillery. And of course, you do not need so much table space! Now most of my time painting recently has been on my French Napoleonic forces. But progress on the French has been going well enough (by my standards! As well as the Streifkorps Mussinpushkin.

"Skoryi Szag!": A redoubtable undertaking
http://skyoriszag.blogspot.com/2010/10/redoutable-undertaking.html
Saturday, 9 October 2010. Russian redoubt for my artillery, inspired by-of all things- tofu tubs! I had been wanting to make some terrain for our Napoleonic games for a while, but hadn't given it all that much thought until yesterday morning when the "Tsarina" was about to toss these into the recycling bin. Small tofu containers that are common in supermarkets here. I added foam-board chunks for the embrasures and to build up the final shape,. The gabions and any planking, and then. As is the way of such...

Sunday, 12 December 2010. To repel the minions of Bonaparte and hurl them from Sacred Russian soil! Yes, it looks odd to see horse artillery manning fieldworks, but needs must as I haven't started on foot artillery yet. I'm quite pleased with how it has turned out. A far cry from the plastic tofu tubs I rescued from being tossed out into the garbage. Thin layers of papier-mache. Clamping the whole thing down to the workbench while it dried thoroughly, and. You can see how the project developed here.

Thursday, 6 January 2011. Which, if Babelfish is to be trusted and your computer is set up to read Cyrillic,. Russian for "Happy Sviatki". This being the time for the Russian Orthodox Church's two-week celebration of Christmas. As way of marking the day, here is my scene of Russian priests (monks? Blessing the troops on this auspicious day in 1813, prior to them going on and kicking Boney's butt all the way to Paris- if with a few setbacks along the way. The miniatures are from Front Rank. These were fun...

Thursday, 30 July 2009. Russia's Greatest Love Machine? Our Lady of Novodski-Nargil". Every self-respecting Czarist corps needs its Icon and Orthodox Priests to inspire the men. I've been working on these on and off for a long time now, and have finally finished them. They are the most complex conversions I've done so far, involving a fair amount of epoxy putty and paper clips! Or is he a monk? I know little about the organization of the Russian Orthodox Church) began life as a Front Rank. They were a lo...

Sunday, 3 October 2010. Finally had some hobby time today, so here it is- a finished stand of Russians! A 10 pdr. Licorne. Of Horse Battery #8. Ready to do some GBH to the French. Front Rank miniatures, and a joy they were indeed to paint. These are some of their best figures in my opinion. Notice that the Czar's representative, Count. Observes the proceedings along with the British liaison officer,. Major Bartholomew Fetlock-Withers (MP),. Ready to dispense death and destruction on Bonaparte's hordes.

Tuesday, 4 August 2009. Here in the suburbs of Tokyo, I'm lucky enough to live in a nice house that is quite spacious by Tokyo standards, and which is surrounded by a lot of green hills and is close to the Tama River. I also really enjoy my work here, which takes me to various locations in and around the Tokyo area and beyond. But the downside of life in this metropolis of 12 million people is that commuting can really. Above is a shot of the workbench. In the foreground is a 10 pdr. licorne. Carefully- ...
