Lead Gardens: Back to the Front
http://littlejohnslead.blogspot.com/2013/03/back-to-front.html
Saturday, March 2, 2013. Back to the Front. It seems that I have been skulking in the rear here at the Lead Gardens, since my last post on Dec. 22! A age ago in blogging terms. So I've resolved to quit paying so much attention to work, family and career and get back to what really matters—pushing great masses of lead around around "the Green Mile"! Jasta 37's new machines just arrived at the front. These Albatri are destined for a repaint to make a complete unit. Here at the Lead Gardens. Although it is ...

Lead Gardens: An Odd Idea
http://littlejohnslead.blogspot.com/2012/12/an-odd-idea.html
Tuesday, December 18, 2012. A Reb unit assaults a wood defended by Union infantry and a battery of artillery. (The game board is a bit shiny and I was thinking a quick coat of matte spray might make the whole look of the game a bit more like a tabletop wargame rather than a boardgame. Basically I took the idea of drilling the game surface to accept trees to one of my "Battle Cry" game boards to try a way of producing wooded hexes without having to use the flat tiles included in the game. All the best,.

Lead Gardens: Classic Wargames Building Tutorial
http://littlejohnslead.blogspot.com/2011/01/classic-wargames-building-tutorial.html
Sunday, January 30, 2011. Classic Wargames Building Tutorial. So for this post I thought it might be a nice break from AARs to post some basic ideas for producing "classic" wargaming buildings in short order with a minimum of headaches and a maximum of fun! OK so here goes:. First, the base is cut from a 1/8" masonite (mdf) scrap that I had laying around. (my wife calls me a hoarder, but I think it's just a wargamer habit to be alert to that "hey I can use that". Next we glue all the sides together.(...

Showing posts with label Colonials. Showing posts with label Colonials. Tuesday, November 20, 2012. Pre-dreadnoughts painted British style. I've been following a few blogs where homemade wargaming minis feature particularly "Wooden Warriors". And I was also looking at the yahoo group, "wargaming on a budget". This morning and it reminded me of a little project I started a year ago that was my shot a wargaming on the cheap. Sunday, November 11, 2012. Northwest Frontier: "Big Battle" Style. I also used som...

http://thesteadfasttinsldier.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
The Steadfast Tin Soldier. Sunday, 26 January 2014. Its been a while since I posted anything about my Garibaldi/Red shirts project . It's been chugging along in the background slowly and it's nearly got to the point when I have enough for a game - using Black Powder. Here is a command figure for the Garibaldini , a Irregular figure of course . Neapolitan command - CinC in full dress and a subordinate in undress uniform , again Irregular figures. A Neapolitan gun and crew. Saturday, 18 January 2014. I'm p...

The Steadfast Tin Soldier. Wednesday, 23 April 2014. Does one wish people a 'Merry Saint Georges Day?
